A policeman will attend the provincial court in Kampong Thom on December 14 on drugs charges, after he was detained by anti-drug police on Wednesday in Siem Reap province.

Muon Vithou was held after one of his alleged accomplices implicated him in the distribution of drugs in Kampong Thom province. He was then apprehended in Siem Reap province and questioned by Kampong Thom provincial police.

The accomplice, arrested earlier this month, has also been charged and is being held in pre-trial detention at Kampong Thom prison. No drugs were found in the suspect’s possession at the time of arrest.
