Phnom Penh – A joint task force comprising officials from the Unified Administrative Command of Chamkar Mon and Chbar Ampov districts, specialized authorities from the Phnom Penh Police Department, and legal coordination from the Deputy Prosecutor of the Phnom Penh Municipal Court conducted inspections on September 17, 2025, targeting two suspected sites involved in online scam activities.

The first location inspected was at House No. C12, Street C, within Borey Ban Phan Bassac, Village 10, Sangkat Tonle Bassac, Chamkar Mon District. The second site was at House No. 113, Street P25, Village Veal Sbov, Sangkat Veal Sbov, Chbar Ampov District, also known as Police Station 2.

During the operations, authorities arrested a total of 14 individuals—from both locations—including 10 Chinese nationals, one woman, and four Vietnamese nationals, including three women. Law enforcement also seized various electronic devices, including 13 monitors, 17 CPUs, 46 mobile phones, 13 passports, and four laptops.

Preliminary examination of the seized electronic devices revealed that Cambodia was being used as a base for online gaming crimes, highlighting the transnational nature of these illegal activities.

This crackdown aligns with the nationwide campaign launched by the Royal Government of Cambodia on July 14, 2025, aimed at combatting technology-based fraud. The campaign involves multiple ministries, institutions, and local authorities working together to prevent, suppress, and dismantle online scam networks, with strict legal measures targeting all masterminds involved.

Cambodian officials emphasized that the government remains committed to maintaining public security, order, and social safety by addressing cybercrime through comprehensive law enforcement and international cooperation.
