Takeo provincial police chief Major General Sok Samnang and Kirivong police chief Yuk Sarath led a team to Toteung mountain in Kirivong district, finding illegal cannabis seedlings across 8 locations covering approximately 2,000 square metres. Six water tanks used for irrigation were also found. The cultivators escaped before police arrived.
