Four Cambodian nationals were arrested by Thai authorities on illegal logging allegations after the suspects were caught in a Surin province wildlife sanctuary with felled Siamese Rosewood trees and logging tools on Monday, according to officials.

“I just received this information about the arrested Cambodians by Thai authorities from reading Thai newspapers too,” Bun Sok Vibol, a Cambodian Consular official for Sakaeo province, Thailand, told Khmer Times yesterday.

“However, our consul will now be in touch with Thai authorities about the issue,” he said, confirming that the Cambodians had illegally crossed the border into Thailand to log luxury wood in the Thai forest.

A group of Thai park rangers caught the four Cambodians from Oddar Meanchey province’s Samraong district illegally crossing the border into Thailand. In conjunction with the arrest of the suspects, two of whom were women, felled Siamese Rosewood trees as well as multiple tools for logging timber were seized in the Huaituptun-Huaisamran wildlife sanctuary.
