The urine test tells no lies as a group of suspected drug users discovered when they were caught in Kampong Speu province’s Vaing Chas commune.

Patrolling officers spotted 20 people looking suspicious on Sunday. A spot check of them all uncovered a gun and a sword.

It turned out that nine were on drugs, so the intoxicated were arrested and hauled off for legal measures while their 11 comrades were told to keep cleaner company in the future.
