It's "tea" time !
I wonder if this is connected to the 18yo Vietnamese kid who was busted with something like 25kgs ? (Who was obviously not the mastermind.)
:voilent1:
A bit of pressure on the kid from the cops and hey presto. The main distributor.

Anyway, nice work by the police.

Apparently 4000 kg or so was seized last year, but about half that might have been that massive ketamine bust in Kampong Speu last month. They include marijuana in the total but the weights are negligible compared to the meth, ecstasy and other chemical-based narcotics. :

So 200 kgs of meth in the first few days of the year is a good start.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

^ Yes, I am not anti-drug in general, but when I see all this meth flooding through Cambodia, poisoning people from all walks of life, and the poor in particular, it makes me so angry to think of the bastards who are making money from this misery.
