Preah Sihanouk province: Acting on instructions from Mang Sineth, head of the provincial administrative command, mixed forces under Sihanoukville’s unified administrative command carried out checks from 10 p.m. on November 1, 2025, to 1 a.m. the following day. City administration officers, city police, city military police and public-order personnel took part to protect residents and visitors.
At the checkpoint on June 28 Street in Village 1, Sangkat 3, Sihanoukville, Preah Sihanouk province, officers checked 624 cars, 236 motorcycles and 308 PassApp three-wheelers for weapons, explosives and other offences.
Authorities reported six cases. Two drug cases involved the detention of two men, one Cambodian and one Chinese, and the seizure of two cars, drugs and some drug-use equipment.
In one suspected online-offence case, a Chinese woman was detained. A car, ten mobile phones and other items were seized.
Two further cases involved stopping two cars fitted with “Fake BTS” equipment used to interrupt phone service and replace it with a false service for fraud or the delivery of fake SMS messages. Officers seized the two cars and equipment inside. In a suspected illegal-border-crossing case, two men, one Cambodian and one Chinese, were detained; a car, four phones, identity documents and some Chinese yuan were seized.
The detained people and seized items were taken to city police for questioning and further legal procedures.
Officers also impounded two motorcycles with improperly modified exhausts after the riders refused to pay fines at the checkpoint. Twenty-four Cambodian road users, including eight women, received traffic-law guidance at the scene.
