Phnom Penh: On the afternoon of October 2, 2018, police detained two more suspects in Preah Vihear province for attempting to revolt against the Royal Government of Cambodia. The mastermind of the group, Ros Samon, called Orange (or Skyrock) was one of them, according to Interior Ministry spokesman Khieu Sopheak.
The other leader arrested by the force of the National Police Commissariat was Hoang Thong Dy, called Dang, a 44-year-old.
The confiscated exhibits include:
– Two weapons (1 assault rifle, one pistol)
