Liaison Officer based at the border Major Nuon Bunthoeun told Khmer Times today
that at about 2am last night, Cambodian police and Laotian athroities
cracked down on three tractors which were carrying the drugs from Laos’s
Champasak province into Stung Treng province’s Borei O-Svay district.
He said during the
crackdown, the drivers fled into the forests and left their tractors on the
road, inside the Laos border.
Maj Bunthoeun
said police inspected the tractors and seized 32 sacks containing big packages
of ketamine weighing nearly 640 kilogrammes.
He added that the drugs

seized inside the Laos border.
