Cops in Phnom Penh’s Daun Penh district on Wednesday raided a shop where students were gambling with their futures in a very literal sense.

According to police, a man was operating an online gambling den catering to the students of an adjacent high school.

Acting on a complaint filed by a neighbour, police raided the shop, finding 15 uniformed students gambling inside.

The den’s proprietor managed to escape, and the students were released after signing a contract swearing off gambling in the future. KAMPUCHEA THMEY
