Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Cambodia News (Banteay Meanchey): On 3 May 2023, the Banteay Meanchey Provincial Gendarmerie sent six Thai suspects to the Banteay Meanchey Provincial Prosecutor's Office for questioning and legal action, in connection with drug trafficking and illegal possession of weapons.

The six men were arrested on 1 May 2023 in front of MIX CLUB Club in Poipet City, Banteay Meanchey Province, and their details are as follows:

Imported Thai mortar shells? And a side folding AK ?

Who are these people selling to in Cambodia?

Rouge military units?

People with self built mortar tubes?

Grr, even Thais have given up on football shirts. Pity.
Meum est propositum in taberna mori,
ut sint Guinness proxima morientis ori.
tunc cantabunt letius angelorum chori:
"Sit Deus propitius huic potatori."
