236 marijuana plants destroyed and grower released in Thma Koul, Battambang
Patrolling officers discovered Ren Sara (36) tending a hidden cannabis plantation of 236 plants beside a small stream in jungle in Tameun commune, Thma Koul district. A search of his nearby house in Thmey village uncovered an additional 2 kg of dried marijuana. Plants were uprooted and destroyed. Sara was initially sent to the district police station but was released on compassionate grounds after thumb-printing an assurance not to re-offend. Deputy district police chief Heang Buntha said Sara was from a poor family and grew cannabis for personal use and to treat a family member, not for sale.
