171 marijuana plants seized on farm in Phnom Sruoch district, Kampong Speu

District police discovered 171 cannabis plants hidden among other crops on a farm in Phnom Sruoch district, Kampong Speu province, after villagers informed police. Deputy district police chief Pov Noeun said the plants were deliberately intercropped to conceal them. The farm owner was not arrested because he lives in Takeo province; police are searching for him. The plants were held at the district police station pending destruction. This was the first marijuana bust in Phnom Sruoch district in 2015.
