Two capital men were arrested on drugs charges in Phnom Penh’s Por Sen Chey district on Tuesday, when fate intervened on their moto ride home from a drugs purchase.

They crashed into another moto, injuring one suspect, and soon police arrived on the scene, to the alarm of the remaining suspect.

Having squirrelled his stash in a cigarette box earlier, he indiscreetly abandoned it in sight of the cops, piquing police interest in both man and box, which led to the arrests.
