Sihanoukville Police Conduct Stop and Search for Drugs and Guns

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

I do not know about Sihanoukville but when I lived in SR, there were plenty of people with guns around and quite a few of them were proud enough to show me. I was at a party when the talk turned to guns and a fair number of people pulled out their favourite hardware to admire.
How many of them were not Khmer?
None, all Khmer. This was 5-6 years ago. I remember one of them was an old lady that pulled a gun out of her handbag the size of an artillery piece (I know nothing about guns admittedly).
