Alleged addicts’ arrest leads to meth bust
Anti-drug police in Kampong Cham province have raided a home and seized 54 packages of what is believed to be some kind of methamphetamine drug. Though police touted what appeared to be a successful drug bust, they also noted that the homeowner had managed to escape before the police arrived. The Monday raid came as a result of a previous drug bust, when officers discovered two men using drugs. A tip from the two men led the cops to the house on Monday.
