Seems like quite a heavy handed raid for such a small amount of drugs.

You could hide those drug packets underneath one of the smartphones.

I wonder if Khmer police ever do follow on sting operations or can even be bothered with finding the source of the drugs or at least the guy who sold it to these three?

You know they could offer them a reduced sentence if they helped set up a sting operation to catch the dealer. Then do the same with the dealer to catch his source, etc etc.
