Officials from the Kampong Chhnang Forestry and Fisheries Department seized a 10-tonne truckload of luxury timber in the early hours of yesterday morning, according to provincial Forestry Administration chief Thorng Vandyra.

 

“Now, both the truck and timber have been impounded at the Kampong Chhnang Provincial Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Department,” Vandyra said, adding that if the owners are ever caught, they could face three to five years in prison and fines totalling “millions of riel”.

 

He added that the driver escaped after abandoning the Hyundai truck 50 metres from a checkpoint near Derm Phaka village, in Rolea Ba’ier district’s Andong Snay commune.
