Police Raid Joy Hotel (Again) and Come Up Empty-Handed (Again)

Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): Please be informed that the police operation on the afternoon of October 4, 2023, involving a search of the premises of Joy Hotel, located along Street 182,Khan 7 Makara, Phnom Penh, came up empty-handed, as police found nothing related to possible criminal activities or gambling.

The Khan 7 Makara Unity Command inspected the hotel, after some social media commenters posted publicly that this location was being used for illegal gambling and fishing games. However, the comments on social media proved to be incorrect; the police team found only empty rooms, and there was no material related to gambling in the building.

Following the inspection, the authorities educated the owners of the hotel and made a contract with them to prohibit all kinds of gambling and other illegal crimes, such as human trafficking and selling drugs. In case of non-compliance with the contract, the authority will follow the legal procedure.

It should be noted that the Joy Hotel has often been mentioned in the local press and on social media as the suspected location of a Chinese gambling den, but the authorities have never found anything suspicious during each of their inspections.

Because they're being tipped off well in advance, as soon as the raid is over gaming machines are brought back in and its back to business as usual.
