Score one for cops’ instincts. Police in Banteay Meanchey had a gut feeling that a group of men loitering in Serei Sophorn district might be up to no good.

Sure enough, as they approached, the men bolted and the chase was on.

When it concluded, two men were in custody and more than 250 pills had been seized from their persons.

Police said both were recidivists, who had each been behind bars two times before.
