17,266 marijuana plants burned in single village in Kirivong; 100,000 destroyed since January

Deputy district police chief Yang Dara reported 17,266 cannabis plants found across 62 locations in one village, planted around homes and between trees on farms. Informants led police to the sites; no arrests as owners fled and neighbors refused to cooperate. Dara confirmed approximately 100,000 plants destroyed in Kirivong since January 2017. He identified Vietnam and Preah Sihanouk province as export destinations. Dara noted police teams require at least 10 officers due to safety concerns, and that locals are largely uncooperative and "dislike the authorities coming to their villages." The previous week, 25,325 plants were also destroyed in the same village.
