Kandal Provincial Court yesterday charged and jailed two Chinese nationals for drug use and trafficking in Koh Thom district. Brigadier General Chhoeun Socheath, chief of the provincial anti-drug department, identified the two accused men as Chin Hue Jing, 50, and Chae Xiao Kung, 26.

 

Brig Gen Socheath said that both were gamblers who worked with a Chinese-owned casino in Sampou Poun commune in Kandal province’s Koh Thom district. He added that they were both charged with drug use and trafficking, noting that the two men are currently in pre-trial detention following their arrests last week.

 

Major Sok Chantha, deputy chief of Koh Thom district police, said they were both suspected of using and trafficking drugs, including selling them to other Chinese gamblers in Koh Thom district. Maj Chantha noted that the men were arrested separately. Mr Chin was arrested red-handed at about 11pm on Friday at a quiet area near a Chinese-owned casino in Sampou Poun commune.
