Battambang Marijuana Grower Panics and Gives the Game Away

Cambodia News, Battambang: On January 21, 2022, in Ochrap Village, Samlot Commune, Samlot District, Battambang Province, police arrested a 36-year-old man named Ran Rim, a local resident, was arrested and taken to the district police inspectorate for questioning in a case of cultivation and trafficking of dried marijuana.
Image
On the day of the incident, Ran Rim was riding a tuktuk along the road in Samlot district, but when he saw the police forces by the roadside, the man jumped off his motorbike and fled, which led to suspicion by the police and the inspection of the bags in the vehicle, which were found to contain dry marijuana.

So the police took the motorcycle and marijuana to the inspectorate for research, and when they found out who the owner was, they went looking for him and took him in for questioning. He said that people had been asking him about buying marijuana, and since he needed some money, he went to plant some marijuana trees in a forest land without an owner, and when he received the harvest he sold 17 kilograms of dried marijuana.

After questioning, the police took him to show the location of the marijuana plantation and saw 75 fresh marijuana plants that were destroyed by the police there.

First time since I started reading this forum that someone was arrested in these raids.

Edit: I mean against pot farmers but guess he fucked up by getting caught outside his zone.
