It's "crime crackdown time" in Sihanoukville:

Sihanoukville crime crackdown: Nearly 400 arrested in raid on entertainment centre
Following an order from Preah Sihanouk provincial governor Kuoch Chamroeun to take urgent action to control the security situation in Sihanoukville, joint forces yesterday raided an entertainment centre and arrested nearly 400 suspects for drug-related activities.

According to a police report, the crackdown was carried out at 12.45am at the Cin Khay Men Restaurant & KTV in Sihanoukville’s Buon commune.

Provincial hall spokesman Kheang Phearom said yesterday the raid was part of the response against rising crimes and was led by Chamroeun, who is also the head of the Provincial Administrative Unity Command (PAUC).

“The operation was carried out based on the order which had been issued by the provincial governor,” he said.

“The joint forces are working based on procedures to crack down on crime activities.”

In response to the rising crimes over the past weeks across the coastal city of Sihanoukville, Chamroeun led a PAUC meeting on Tuesday and he ordered the forces to carry out operations to look out for and crack down on all crimes.

“I have noted that the security situation in Sihanoukville is not good,” he said.

More details:


Firearms were also seized in the police raid on the Chinese karaoke club in Sihanoukville on 30 September.

UPDATE

Cambodia News, Sihanoukville: In the operation to crack down on a Chinese karaoke restaurant named "Sin Kai Xian Min", in Sangkat 4, Sihanoukville, police confiscated more than 12 kilograms of drugs and three weapons (one long weapon and two small arms) and some other exhibits seized from nine Chinese ringleaders and accomplices who have now been sent to the provincial court for legal action.



Police are keeping nine Chinese suspects in detention awaiting trial, as of October 4 2020.
In addition, some of those arrested were deported, and those who were not involved in crimes were released according to legal procedures.

Is there room in Cambodian prisons for 400 arrested Chinese, and what actually happens to them? Deportation, a slap on the wrist, or something more scary?

If fines are handed out, is there accounting for the money? I know probably not, just curious
