What happened
Police arrested six suspects on November 1 at a restricted area in O Reang district, Mondulkiri, over the alleged theft of electrical cable. Kohsantepheap Daily reported that police seized four bundles weighing 92 kilograms, along with a motorbike, tools and phones. On November 4, Kampuchea Thmey reported that police sent the suspects to the provincial court; an arrest or charge is not a finding of guilt.
Why it matters
The alleged theft took place at a site police had closed after an operation against online scam activity. The court will handle the case through legal procedures; the sources do not report a court decision.
Background
Kampuchea Thmey said the site was part of a former online-scam facility. Police said the suspects also admitted to other thefts, but that claim has not been established by a court in the reports.
