At 11:30PM on 07 June 2010, near the round-about next the gas station along the road to Siem Reap, in Village No. 1, O’Ambil commune, Sereysophon district, Banteay Meanchey province, the provincial cops raided a major drug trafficking operation and arrested 6 persons, the majority of whom are Vietnamese. The cops also confiscated 1,964 drug pills [ecstasy pills?] and 2 vehicles: a Honda CRV and a Toyota Camry. After the confiscations, the suspects were sent to the court, but the suspects spent several tens of thousands of dollars to secure the release of their vehicles and themselves. The release was done through a subterfuge by switching the declaration of the confiscation of drug pills to confiscation of medicine pills. However, 2 or 3 months later, the case was revealed and the cops performed an investigation that led to the removal of police officer Lim Mab and the arrest and accusation of Hun Hean, the Banteay Meanchey police commissioner, and Chhieng Son, his deputy.
