Battambang bust nets sneaky meth peddler

A furtive drug-dealing operation was finally blown wide open on Sunday in Battambang.

Having had their eyes on the suspect for some time, police were finally able to track down and arrest the drug peddler at his secluded place of business – chosen precisely for its distance from potentially prying eyes.

Police also confiscated nine bags of meth and a moto, while the suspect is awaiting trial in provincial military police custody.
