A pair of drug dealers who took their trade underground - literally - were picked up on Tuesday by police who uncovered their subterranean drug den in Steung Treng.

The two slingers allegedly burrowed down into a hole near a river, creating a hidden lair where they could safely sell their product to prospective clients.

Police had been pursuing the pair for some time, but were only recently able to ascertain the location of their operation.

Both men were taken to the station while police confiscated crystal meth and various drug paraphernalia at the scene.
