Phnom Penh Post - Sword-possessing posse pinched by cops

Cops confiscated a collection of possessions from the crew, including a motorbike, the meth and a sword.
Apparently authorities had been tailing the troupe for some time in relation to another crime, and pounced when they got wind that the gang had illegal drugs.
