Police in Kampot province arrested seven foreign nationals yesterday evening on charges of producing and selling marijuana at a bar in Kampot town.

Provincial Police Chief Brigadier General Mao Chanmakthurith told Khmer Times that the arrests were made following an investigation by his officers and complaints from locals. The suspects are currently being questioned in police custody.

“We do not know their nationality and we are not sure all of these people were involved in the crime. The pub owner is an American,” he said, adding that in the group, five are men and two are women.
