Phnom Penh - A police officer who was less than a week into his post in Cambodia's anti-drugs squad has been arrested after police found 10 kilograms of heroin stashed at his home in the capital, national media reported Monday. The raid on the house of Bun Pov, a first lieutenant in the anti-drugs squad, also uncovered 2 kilograms of methamphetamines as well as large quantities of chemicals used to process and make drugs.

Mok Dara, the head of the National Authority for Combating Drugs, told the Cambodia Daily newspaper the raid was part of a concerted effort by the government to combat illicit drugs.

"We vow to crack down on all drug-making and drug transit," Mok Dara said.

Cambodia has long been seen as a regional transit point for drugs shipments, particularly heroin.

Don't take an offense against him because he is novice/rookie.

Mok Dara dared not raid and search Yay Phu or Mong Rithy or Tea Banh brother compound.Each of these guys is a main conduit since the Three Sdach Khmao of KPP founded their first ruled empire.
