21,371 marijuana plants destroyed across 56 locations in Kirivong, Takeo

Takeo provincial police burned 21,371 marijuana plants found across 56 locations in Preah Bat Choan Chum commune following an investigation and villager reports. Lieutenant Colonel Mak Serey Vathana said plants were grown on small plots along the mountain to evade detection, and that water storage wells were also destroyed. He noted monthly police checks of the area. Vathana said impoverished local villagers were recruited by brokers to cultivate cannabis, and police are investigating to identify those brokers.
