A couple may face up to five years behind bars after police rescued a large group of children the pair were exploiting as snack sellers on the streets of Phnom Penh.

The anti-human trafficking police found 22 children aged 6 to 16 at the home of Khen Vanthai, 30, and her husband Chea Sady, 28, at Derm Chan village, Chbar II commune, Chbar Ampov district, yesterday morning.

The youngsters were being sent into the capital every day from 6pm until as late as 5am to sell peanuts and fruit on the streets and at beer gardens, but were only given one meal a day by the couple.
