Phnom Penh – A joint force comprising officials from the Phnom Penh administration, specialized police units, district authorities, and the Phnom Penh Municipal Court Prosecutor’s Office conducted an on-site inspection on September 15, 2025, at 1 p.m., targeting a suspected location linked to online scam activities and illegal foreign accommodation.

The operation took place at the HANA Condominium Building, No. 1469, Street 1089, Factory Village 1, Sangkat Kok Khlang, Khan Sen Sok. The seven-story building was thoroughly searched by authorities, resulting in the arrest of 48 suspects—comprising 10 women—from four different nationalities.

Those detained include 33 South Koreans, five of whom are women; one Nepalese man; one Bangladeshi man; and 13 Cambodians, including five women. During the operation, law enforcement also seized numerous items believed to be used in criminal activities, including 60 computers, three televisions, and 35 passports.

The suspects and confiscated materials have been handed over to Phnom Penh Police Station for further processing, according to authorities.

The operation aligns with a nationwide crackdown launched on July 14, 2025, aimed at combating technology-related crimes. The campaign involves multiple government ministries, local authorities, and law enforcement agencies working together to prevent, suppress, and punish online fraud and illegal foreign accommodation activities.

The Cambodian government has reiterated its commitment to addressing technology-based crimes through strict enforcement of the law, emphasizing the importance of public security, social order, and safeguarding citizens from online scams and related criminal networks.
