Six arrested in Cambodian bust

Six Chinese nationals were arrested by Cambodian Police at a hotel in Siem Reap this past week.

The six raised hotel staff’s suspicions when they asked that their room service orders be left outside the door. Police conducted a raid based on the hotel owner’s tip-off and discovered an online gambling operation being run from the hotel room

Provincial police chief Hou Vanny said the six were taking bets and placing them online with unidentified, foreign gambling websites.

All six men are detained in a Cambodian provincial prison and will appear in Court. They face up to five years of jail time for operating illegal online gambling.
