Cambodia Targets Cross-Border Crime with Mass Arrests, Signs Pact with Laos to Combat Scams, Drug Trafficking

Cambodian authorities have arrested more than 1,362 individuals, including hundreds of foreign nationals, in a sweeping 20-day crackdown on online scam operations across seven provinces and the capital. 

The campaign, launched under the directive of Prime Minister Hun Manet, marks the country’s largest coordinated action to date against cybercrime and forced labor networks.

The operation, spanning from 27 June to 16 July, followed the first meeting of the newly formed Commission for Combating Cybercrime and a government directive signed on 14 July. The crackdown targeted 20 known locations across Phnom Penh, Kandal, Sihanoukville, Kampong Speu, Banteay Meanchey, Kratie, and Pursat provinces.

According to a July 17 report from the Commission’s Secretariat, the Unified Command under the 25 Capital-Provincial Administrations spearheaded the operations, seizing hundreds of computers, phones, weapons, drugs, and other materials linked to fraudulent activities. 

Authorities arrested suspects of various nationalities, including 347 Vietnamese, 271 Indonesians, 226 Chinese, and dozens from South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Bangladesh, and Myanmar, with suspicion that a few Lao nationals were also caught in the crackdown.

In response, Cambodia and Laos signed a Memorandum of Understanding on 15 July to deepen cooperation on transnational crimes and drug trafficking, committing to joint training and legal coordination.

The Lao Embassy in Phnom Penh has not immediately replied for comments.

While many suspects have been transferred to court for prosecution and foreign nationals are being processed for deportation, not all high-profile scam compounds were targeted, according to CamboJA News

Despite the wide scope of the crackdown, critics point out that some of Cambodia’s most notorious scam hubs, including Mango Park 2 in Takeo province and compounds in Bavet, Svay Rieng, continue to operate. 

Investigations by Amnesty International and CamboJA News have identified these sites as centers of cybercrime and human trafficking, citing gaps in enforcement, particularly when it comes to networks with ties to powerful elites.

The crackdown comes amid rising international scrutiny.

Regional concerns have also intensified following the arrest of 59 Vietnamese scammers in Laos’s Golden Triangle and the seizure of 70 million methamphetamine pills in Bokeo province.

According to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, scam operations in Southeast Asia defraud victims globally of up to USD 40 billion annually. 

Cambodia alone is estimated to host at least 53 scam compounds, many reportedly involved in forced labor, torture, and unlawful detention.

Capable of autonomous flight and rooftop takeoff, the aircraft represents a major step forward in the rapidly growing low-altitude economy. PwC also presented a panoramic view of this emerging industry chain, spanning aircraft development, infrastructure, and service platforms.

Simon also visited the JOUAV booth, where he explored how drones are transforming emergency response. From disaster relief and infrastructure inspection to unmanned flight systems, JOUAV’s vertical takeoff UAVs showcase how smart technologies are reshaping real-world applications.

At the Airbus booth, Simon explored a full supply chain ecosystem behind the company’s aircraft. Through conversations with representatives of Airbus and its Chinese partners—including suppliers of titanium alloys, aircraft seating, and recycled composite materials—Simon learned how Airbus has deeply integrated with China’s advanced manufacturing ecosystem. From lightweight ergonomic seats made by Hangyu Jiatai to sustainable recycling solutions led by HRC, each supplier plays a vital role in delivering world-class aircraft.

Through his journey in the advanced manufacturing zone, Simon uncovered a complete industrial process—from R&D and materials to precision parts and intelligent equipment—all enabled by supply chain collaboration. Whether in aerospace, low-altitude mobility, rail transit, or industrial automation, the success of advanced manufacturing depends on seamless global partnerships.

It ensures stable generation during peak heat hours, boosts self-consumption, and conserves battery power for when it’s truly needed—delivering reliability when it matters most.
  • Grid-Connected PID Repair, 25 Years of Peak Performance: Featuring Sungrow’s patented PID ZERO® technology, the system is the industry’s first to actively recover from PID effects without disconnecting from the grid. It counteracts long-term power loss caused by heat and humidity—ensuring your PV modules stay efficient for 25 years, no extra hardware or rewiring required.

Smarter Energy, Seamless Control

  • Touch & Monitor at Your Finger: The intuitive 4.3-inch full-color touchscreen offers real-time monitoring and complete local control. Commissioning takes less than 30 seconds—no internet required, as easy as making tea. Dual LED indicators allow quick system checks at a glance: the left shows system status, while the right displays battery state of charge (SOC).
  • Storm-Ready in One Tap: Prepare for extreme weather or scheduled outages with a single click—activate fast battery charging from the grid and go from 30% to 100% SOC in just one hour (based on a 6kW/6kWh system), giving you peace of mind when it matters most.
  • AI Smart Energy Management: Later integration with Sungrow’s iHomeManager (the forecast-based energy management system) will use AI to tailor energy strategies based on usage patterns, weather forecasts, dynamic electricity tariff, and extreme weather alerts, optimizing energy dispatch and boosting household green energy benefits by more than 12%*.
