Logging trucks seized in Ratanakkiri
Authorities intercepted four trucks carrying 81 pieces of illegal luxury timber at a checkpoint in Ratanakkiri province’s O’Yadav district last Friday, District Military Police Commader Sok Min said on May 7. “The trucks and timber were hidden in the rubber plantation of a company located next to the Cambodia-Vietnam border to wait for the chance to haul the timber to sell in Vietnam via Phnom Krahom checkpoint, but our forces managed to halt them in time,” Min said. He added that the trucks and sokram timber, whose owners have not been identified, are impounded at the District Military Police office for further legal action by the Forestry Administration.
