Phnom Penh Post - Kingdom’s police nab Laotian drug runner
A luckless Laotian was arrested in Thala Barivat district for drug trafficking, authorities said yesterday.
Cambodian police, operating on a tip off from their Laotian counterparts, lured the 40-year-old farmer across the border with the promise of a sweet deal.
The unsuspecting farmer took the Kingdom’s finest up on their offer, bringing a kilo of meth with him from his native Bolikhamxay province.
He was immediately arrested, and was questioned yesterday.
