MOTODOP CONFESSES TO BEING DRUGS TAXI
A 19-year-old man stands accused of delivering drugs after his arrest last Wednesday in a Daun Penh district village. The man, who worked as a motodop driver, confessed that he resorted to dealing drugs because he earned little income from his day job, police said. Investigators said the man was arrested with nine packages of powdered drugs and one tablet. People from the commune in which the man was arrested complained that nocturnal drugs deliveries were becoming commonplace of late, as if the dealers were selling candy.
