Fire-happy drug dealers feel the heat in Kampot

Police in Kampot busted a husband-and-wife drug trafficking outfit on Monday.

Police seized the pair and the scorched remains of their stash. Their drugs and dreams of illicit business success up in smoke, the couple are now being sent to provincial court.
