Drug dealers squeal on accomplices, 5 in court

Poipet police busted five alleged drug traffickers following a local’s tip-off on Sunday.

Cops raided a cottage, finding two grams of powdered meth and three swords.

They arrested two men while several accomplices managed to flee the scene, police said.

However, after interrogating the arrested men, police were able to apprehend three more using the information.

All five were sent to the provincial court yesterday.
