Police in Phnom Penh on Sunday arrested seven men and confiscated five AK-47s that were allegedly used in a series of armed robberies across four provinces, Meanchey District Governor Kuch Chamroeun said. Police are still looking for additional suspects in the robberies, which investigators says spread over Svay Rieng, Prey Veng, Kandal and Takeo provinces, Mr Chamroeun said. Police arrested three men in Meanchey district, two in Tuol Kok district and two in Dangkao district, he said. Police also discovered that the alleged thieves kept a large cache of arms and ammunition hidden on the outskirts of the capital in Dangkao district's Prey Sar commune. "This is the first case where we cracked down on the big nest [of suspects] in Meanchey district, thanks to the cooperation of the good people in the district who reported information about the suspects," Mr Chamroeun said. The seven men are being held at his district's police headquaters for questioning, he added.
