|title=25,409 marijuana plants destroyed across 73 locations in Kirivong, Takeo
|summary=Police destroyed 25,409 cannabis plants found across 73 locations in two villages in Preah Bat Choan Chum commune, Kirivong district. Deputy district police chief Yang Dara said plants were pulled up and burned on site. No arrests were made as villagers refused to identify the farm owners; police are investigating to find brokers and owners. Dara revealed that an undercover agent had located the plantations by posing as a honey or wildlife hunter. He noted that over 60,000 marijuana plants were destroyed in Kirivong in 2016, and that cannabis is grown for export — "they do not use locally."
