Police in Takeo province’s Kiri Vong district on Thursday burned 12 marijuana farms in a 2,865-square-metre area in the foothills and valleys of Preah Bat Chonchum commune.
Captain Sem Sok, chief of the district’s Anti-Drug Unit, told Khmer Times on Friday that the owners of the marijuana farms fled before police arrived.
Cap Sok noted that after the raid, police seized thousands of marijuana plants as well as other related materials from their farms.
“After the raid, police destroyed all the marijuana plants and other related materials at their farm,” he said.
He added that police are now searching for the owners to bring them to justice.
