A cross-border kidnapping case occurred in Phnom Penh on the evening of September 21. Local police acted swiftly, rescuing a Korean man and arresting five suspects: four Chinese men and a Cambodian driver. Police seized one K54 pistol, two magazines, nine rounds of ammunition, one iron bar, three walkie-talkies, one rubber holster, 112 methamphetamine pills, two passports and several items of drug-use equipment.

The victim is reported to be a 51-year-old Korean man. That evening, suspects followed him as he left a café in Phnom Penh, forced him into a black car and drove away. A security guard immediately called the police, who reviewed surveillance footage and identified the vehicle. When the suspects tried to return to the scene to move the victim’s car, police arrested one of them there.
Following the trail, police arrested the other four suspects at a hotel in Phnom Penh’s Daun Penh district the following afternoon. Investigators identified four Chinese men, two of whom had no passports, and a Cambodian driver as those involved.
The five suspects and the seized items have been transferred to the Daun Penh district police station. Police say the investigation is continuing and that the relevant evidence will be submitted to the judicial authorities.
