Police barged into an illegal cockfighting ring in Battambang province’s Samlot district on Tuesday, sending punters running. Seven people were arrested, including the owner of the gambling den.

Ten motorbikes were impounded and four cocks were also in police hands yesterday. Police released six of the men after they signed agreements not to take part in the practice again.

The house owner was sent to be charged in court. DEUM AMPIL
