Former dog thief’s night quickly goes to the dogs , Police blotter, Phnom Penh Post

An alleged petty thief in Kampong Chhnang town was arrested on Monday night after reportedly graduating to drug dealing.

Police said the man’s neighbours saw a shady deal go down at his place and called police.

Officers raided the premises, turning up a package of yama and some paraphernalia.

Police arrested the man, who reportedly confessed under questioning that he had been a drug dealer for some time, adding helpfully that he’d also stolen motos as well as neighbours’ dogs, which he sold for meat. KAMPUCHEA THMEY
