A gang of Battambang gamblers who came to be entertained by illegal cockfighting instead found themselves the centre of attention when police raided the Banan district haunt on Saturday.

After receiving a tipoff, the cops cracked down on the cock fighters, detaining 14 of the delinquents and confiscating the roughed-up roosters.

All the gambling goons were subsequently released after an education session and minor fines.
