Entrepreneurial family arrested over business

Police from Phnom Penh’s Sen Sok district arrested a family of five yesterday morning for allegedly engaging in a less-than-wholesome family business: drug-trafficking.

The sting operation saw the arrest of four women and a man, all relatives, and the confiscation of 40 packets of drugs and a stash of cash.

The kindred criminals were detained at the district office for questioning.
