Six suspects were in custody Friday after five armed men stormed into a private dental clinic in Cambodia the day before to free a Chinese convict, Cambodian police said.
.
The convict, Chen Hsin Han, 45, who was serving a 52-year sentence for drug trafficking, remains at large, said Teng Channath, the Siem Reap provincial police chief. Police did not explain why the suspects in custody outnumbered the people who stormed the clinic

Indictment in Taiwan reveals how Chen Hsin Han used WhatsApp to contact heroin couriers from behind bars.
Court documents from Taiwanese authorities uncovered by RFA Investigative reveal that Chen Hsin Han, a Taiwanese national arrested on drug charges in Cambodia in 2009, managed to smuggle nearly 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) of heroin to an associate in Taiwan in 2020 using a middleman he met while incarcerated.

It is unclear whether Cambodian prison authorities were aware that Chen was conducting these illicit activities while in jail.

Images have been released of seven captured criminals – involved in the armed storming of a Siem Reap dental clinic that freed a Chinese criminal who was serving a 52 year drug sentence – with police confirming that all 7 ‘hired criminals” are United States citizens who planned the crime in the USA before coming to Cambodia ( and the plot thickens!!)

The General added that the well-organized criminal group had been planning their activities for the past two months in the United States before they arrived in Cambodia about 2 weeks ago

Five pistols with silencers, five masks and five sets of gloves were found in the escape vehicle, he added.

He described them as “hired criminals”
