A man who narrowly escaped a police raid nearly a year ago is behind bars after a well-placed tipster paid off in Thbong Khmum’s Memot district on Friday.

Police said the suspect had slipped through a back door during a November raid, which led to a subsequent arrest warrant.

He attempted to sneak back into the home on Friday morning, leading to his arrest later that day.

He’s since confessed to dealing yama and has been sent to court.
