Cambodia Breaking News (Phnom Penh): The police of the Anti-drug Department have launched another massive raid on drug trafficking in squats along the railway line in Sangkat Sras Chok, Khan Don Penh, Phnom Penh. 119 people were taken into custody.


At 02 pm, on July 7, 2019, the police arrested three men with three packs of drugs. After questioning the suspects, the police continued to arrest others and confiscated 82 motorbikes.

The suspects, along with the evidence, were taken to Anti-Drug Department for case preparation following the procedure.

And those 82 motos will be returned to their rightful owners?

Do the cops hold auctions of bikes and stuff they confiscate? If they do I would be keen to have a look.

Dunno what the normal practice is but anecdotally a friend of mine had her moto stolen last year, it had a GPS on it, went to the cops who tracked the perps down but they wanted $600 from her to get her moto back for their efforts.

Police are definitely cracking down on drug traffic and use in the community living along the railway line in Phnom Penh. This is the second large-scale police raid in a month: newsworthy/topic29662.html

I was asked to check over some laptops that a friend was buying from a couple of shady looking dudes, and they were all police confiscated. I don't think they have formal auctions, or at least this wasn't. There was a group of people picking over them at a cafe. My landlord was the po-po so presumably you can ask one.
