Five men, including a police officer in training, were arrested late Tuesday night in Kandal’s Sa’ang district for consuming illegal drugs. Police said they witnessed a group of 20-somethings take two motorbikes into a banana field, where they proceeded to take out a packet of yama and drug paraphernalia.

Once arrested, the group said they took drugs recreationally and were not involved in distributing them. RASMEI KAMPUCHEA
