Raids All Over Phnom Penh in Gambling Crackdown

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.

Out of curiosity why do you want to snitch on them ? Have they wronged you in some way or do you just not like them ?
I don't know about Frank's reason, but the small, illegal gambling dens I know of around the Chbar Ampouv area, which I see every time I'm visiting family, attract nothing but seedy people, junkies, alky's and jao's...not the sort of people you want hanging around, especially when there's heaps of young kids in the area. Unfortunately the people running these places just pay the cops off, in plain sight, and are permitted to continue operating, causing nothing but grief for the families living in the area.

Kindergarten crackdown or what ?
Am I the only one who is wondering what is going on in this photo ? Is this kid being questioned by police as part of the gambling crackdown? How old do you think he is ? 6,8,10, not any older IMO.
(Also, gotta love that Krud beer decoration on the wall. Classy nas.)

Most likely just a child of one of the people being detained.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
