Six gamblers didn’t bet on law enforcement officers making an appearance at their cockfighting ring in Kratie town on Wednesday.

After several neighbours complained, police raided a house known for hosting illegal activities.

Most of the gamblers managed to scram, but six unlucky participants were caught after a botched – and painful attempt – to escape through a second-storey window.

After promising not to go to any more cockfights, however, the hobbled sextet was released. KAMPUCHEA THMEY
