DRUNKEN-driving checkpoints will be set up in three more districts in the capital - Sen Sok, Dangkor and Meanchey districts - starting today, according to deputy municipal traffic police chief Chev Hak. The three new posts will join five posts reopened last week after they were shut down amid flooding in the city. “All the districts have [their] own targeting plan for the operations,” he said, and added that police would be targeting those areas most susceptible to traffic accidents and drunken driving.

FORESTRY officials from Siem Reap province’s Varin District say they will take legal action against soldiers who allegedly shot at them on Saturday during a logging crackdown. Tea Kimsoth, director of the provincial Forestry Administration, said he would sue soldiers Rom Sa Eam and Roeun Sarim, accusing them of firing a K-54 pistol and breaking the side mirror of the FA’s Toyota Camry. Provincial prosecutor Ty Soveinthal said he had collected reports from military police for examination. Suspect Rom Sa Eam said he hoped officials would solve the case “outside court”, since they had worked together “for more than 10 years”.
