Major Drug Bust in Phnom Penh Leads to Millions Confiscated
Anti-Drug Operation Yields Significant Seizures of Narcotics and Property
In a recent anti-drug operation in Phnom Penh, the Ministry of Interior’s Anti-Drug Department made substantial seizures, including nearly 200kg of narcotics and valuable assets worth millions of dollars.
The operation, conducted across five locations in the city’s Chroy Changvar and Russey Keo districts starting from April 24, resulted in the arrest of six individuals, four of whom were women. The confiscated narcotics included over 158kg of Methamphetamine (ICE), more than 22kg of Ketamine, and over 7kg of heroin.
In addition to the drugs, authorities seized assets suspected to be linked to drug crimes, including $300,000 in cash, real estate properties, vehicles, and bank accounts. The total value of the confiscated assets amounted to millions of dollars.
All confiscated property and suspects have been handed over to the Phnom Penh Municipal Court for further legal proceedings, marking a significant step in the fight against drug-related crimes in Cambodia.
