Pen holds five: Kampot quintet held for dealing

There were enough for a basketball team, but Kampot province teenagers chose drug dealing instead before being caught by the boys in blue yesterday.

The five miscreants were spotted in Sdech Kong commune passing off small packets so police came to investigate, finding 15 bags of the stuff split amongst the 17- to 23-year-olds.

They were all sent along with the evidence of their crime to headquarters to face charges.
