Drugs in the mail
PHNOM Penh Municipal Court yesterday charged two Cambodian men with cross-border drug trafficking after police arrested them on suspicion of mailing 3 kilograms of heroin packaged as chocolate to Australia, court officials said.
An Interior Ministry official who asked not to be named said police arrested the men on August 7 after receiving a tip from Australian police, who said they had received the package in May. The package was mailed from Siem Reap province and bore Mao Sokha’s name and contact information, the official said.
Te Sam Ang declined to provide details of the case, citing the ongoing investigation, but said the men had been placed in pretrial detention. He said that they each faced up to 30 years in jail if convicted.

THE value of construction material imports increased a modest 3.14 percent in the first six months of the year, compared to 2009, according to figures released by the Ministry of Commerce yesterday.
According to a CamControl report, 254,839 tonnes of construction materials worth US$92.9 million entered the country in the first half, up from 233,586 tonnes worth US$90.1 million in the first half of 2009.
General Manager of Khmer Construction Building Materials, So Chandara, said yesterday that sales had improved, as some construction projects had restarted after a difficult year.
Lao Tip Seiha, director of construction department at the Ministry of Land Management, emphasised that smaller developments of less than 3,000 square metres were seeing growth.
