Authorities yesterday raided several logging warehouses in the country’s east, just days after Prime Minister Hun Sen ordered a crackdown on illegal timber smuggling into Vietnam. In a joint operation with multiple agencies, including district police, military police and forestry officials, authorities confirmed yesterday that two logging warehouses in Tbong Khmum province belonging to wealthy businessman Lim Bunna had been seized.

Officials said they were still assessing the size of the haul and could not yet release any details, but photos show hundreds of logs stacked in the warehouses. Authorities had yet to determine if the wood had been illegally logged. “Since the morning, so far, there is still no proper estimate, and we are checking the relevant documents,” said Mao Pov, Tbong Khmum’s provincial police chief.
