Marijuana grower released on compassionate grounds after 236 plants destroyed, Thma Koul, Battambang
Patrolling officers found Ren Sara (36) among 236 marijuana plants next to a small stream in Tameun commune, Thma Koul district. A search of his home in nearby Thmey village uncovered 2 kg of dried marijuana. Sara was released on compassionate grounds after thumb-printing an assurance not to reoffend. Deputy district police chief Heang Buntha said Sara was "from a poor family and he grew the plants to use himself and to help treat someone in his family." Commune police chief Yeun Bunruen confirmed the plants were ripped out and destroyed.
