large-scale cross-border drug trafficking case

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.

Joint Chinese and Cambodian police seize 350 kg of methamphetamine and nab 49 suspects in China and Cambodia

The Chinese and Cambodian police jointly cracked a large-scale cross-border drug trafficking case, arresting 49 suspects and seizing 350 kg of methamphetamine.
According to an announcement by the public security department of south China’s Guangdong Province on Thursday, the Guangzhou police noticed a cross-border drug trafficking gang in October 2020. An investigation found that the gang planned to operate in many places in China and Cambodia.

On Dec. 24, 2021, police in both China and Cambodia conducted a simultaneous operation. Five gang principals and 15 other people involved as well as 350 kg of methamphetamine were nabbed in a villa and another location in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, while another 29 suspects were arrested in multiple Chinese cities.
The news only surfaced in mid of June this year.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

350kg is a huge amount of methamphetamine, but I would say the authorities are not giving out much details about this, maybe its still ongoing.
