A department of environment official from Kandal province is likely to be turning green after he was arrested on Saturday for drug possession.

Police said the suspect was intercepted with some 13 bags of illegal substances on his person, which he was allegedly selling to the community.

Authorities also confiscated a 125 CC motorbike with Phnom Penh licence plates, a cell phone and a wallet.

The man is now being interrogated and will soon be sent to court.
