Authorities shut down an illegal gold mining operation in Kratie province on Monday, arresting one cook while the men in charge managed to escape. The bust was a joint operation between Kratie Provincial Court and the Department of Mines and Energy.


Deputy prosecutor Chea Sopheak, who led the operation, said the bust was conducted following local media reports on illegal mining activities in the district. “We were led to the scene by a local media report. I requested permission for my unit and launched the operation,” Mr Sopheak said.
