The National Committee for Forest Crime Prevention yesterday reported it arrested about 60 suspects and confiscated more than 9,000 cubic metres of wood during its anti-illegal logging campaign last year.

 

NCFCP was created in December 2016 by the government and is headed by General Sao Sokha, commander of the National Military Police. The committee consists of the National Military Police officers and officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, including forest rangers. It is tasked with preventing and cracking down on forestry crime.

 

It said in a press release issued yesterday that last year 59 forestry crime suspects were sent to court and 9,215 cubic metres of timber and 491 vehicles used to transport illegal timber were seized. It said 212 out of the 491 vehicles seized were dismantled and destroyed.
