Cambodia News (Takeo Province): On January 31, 2023, at 10:05 am in Tamoung village, Prey Phkoam commune, Angkor Borey district, Takeo province, a 40-year-old man called Chheuk Phat was arrested in possession of a variety of illegal items to commit different crimes.
Angkor Borey police had first stopped the man because they were looking for drugs, but after searching him, they also found a number of illegal DIY (do-it-yourself aka homemade) items in his possession, revealing him to be a DIY handyman with many business hats: DIY weapon-maker, poacher, illegal fisherman, and of course, drug-dealer.

Police were not surprised to discover that the suspect had 6 bags of crystal methamphetamine ready to sell, some drugs scales, plastic bags,and all the gear for taking drugs. However, they did not expect to come across the 6 homemade electrocution rods for illegal fishing, or the homemade gun that he was carrying in his motorbike.
The evidence was confiscated and the suspect was taken to the police station for further proceedings.
