Cockfight arrests

KAMPONG Cham provincial police arrested four residents from Tbong Khmum district’s Chup commune for betting on cockfights yesterday. Provincial police chief Nuon Samin said the four men will be charged.  “We will not educate them. We have to bring this case to court to take legal measures because they operated cockfighting and were betting over a lot of money,” he said.
