3,452 marijuana plants destroyed across 12 locations in Kirivong, Takeo

Part of Cambodia eradication campaigns (2018)

Police destroyed 3,452 cannabis plants across 12 locations in Preah Bat Choan Chum commune, Kirivong district, after a villager tip-off about farms in Bek Thlang, Dar Krolang, and Thmor Changkran villages. Farm owners fled into the forest. Commune police chief In Savuth said growers had cleared forest to plant cannabis disguised among forest trees — "if we don't take a closer look, we cannot identify them as cannabis." Police continue searching for suspects.
