Five Suspects Arrested After Shooting Sihanoukville Municipal Inspector

Cambodia News, (Sihanoukville): Police in Sihanoukville on June 15, 2022 raided and arrested five Vietnamese male and female gangsters, accused of firing a gun at a deputy municipal inspector and hitting his leg, at Chinatown, in Sangkat 4, Sihanoukville, Preah Sihanouk Province.
Image
Sihanoukville police said that the arrest of the three men and two women was made after the police received a complaint from a local taxi driver. Major General Chuon Narin, Sihanoukville Provincial Police Commissioner, then ordered a search for five suspects who refused to obey the police order to come for questioning.
The police did not check the suspects and one of them fired a handgun at the police, causing a deputy municipal inspector to injure one leg in the police operation.

Currently, the five suspects have been sent to the Sihanoukville Provincial Police to prepare a case to be sent to court for legal proceedings.

Lady holding what I guess is the gun looks quite tough. The younger woman looks as though she could be her daughter

One shooter presumably yet five people arrested too - definitely more to this than is reported

Four Vietnamese nationals have been arrested for shooting and injuring a police officer in Sihanoukville last night, while the city saw a second roadside shooting around 1 a.m., according to police.

In the first case, a taxi driver notified police that he had been threatened at gunpoint by a man. When police arrived, four men refused to be searched, and fired at officers, injuring one, said Sihanoukville police chief Ky Visal.

The incident happened around 9:20 p.m. Wednesday, and four Vietnamese nationals were immediately arrested, Visal said.

“The head of the section has been injured in the right leg. It’s very serious,” the police chief said. “Our officer was injured because the perpetrator had a gun and wanted to fight back, and they scuffled with each other and hit the leg.”

A gun has been confiscated, and the case is being sent to court, Visal said. He said he was too busy to answer further questions before he could be asked about the second shooting.

This is not good news at all, next the Chinese I would also expect to be doing the same. Hopefully the officer's will recover quickly and be back fighting crime.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

I used to go to Sihanoukville for a plate of BBQ fish, a few cold beers after a swim, a bit of whoring and of course some nice weed..Quite sleeps and quiet days are no longer by the sounds of it

Sihanoukville does not ‘have’ a Chinatown, it ‘is’ a Chinatown.
