A plastic gun wasn’t enough to stop villagers from turning in a local drug dealer in Phnom Penh’s Por Sen Chey district. Police put the man under surveillance after being tipped off by the suspect’s neighbours.

Authorities ultimately moved in to arrest the man, searching his room and finding two packages of crystal meth and the worthless weapon when they arrested the man after being tipped off by his neighbours. Police are pursuing legal action.
