Roughly 100 people armed with sticks, axes, machetes and tractor parts surrounded and retrieved three two-wheeled tractors and some timber from the O’Krieng Forestry Administration station in Kratie province’s Sambor district on Sunday, officials said yesterday.

 

According to station chief Seng Darun, the tractors and timber were first seized on January 19 during an operation between military police forces and local authorities, and were impounded temporarily at his Forestry Administration station.

 

“I have sent a report to my superiors with evidence of the villagers’ aggressive and illegal recovery of the vehicles and timber from my station,” Darun confirmed.
