Vietnam-bound timber seized
Ratanakkiri provincial forces and military police yesterday seized 15 logs of luxury wood bound for export to Vietnam. Provincial military police chief Kim Reaksmey said the haul was found when officers targeted the location in Patort village in Lumphat district for the second time. The team confiscated more than 2,390 cubic meters of luxury wood from the same place in February. Mr. Reaksmey said: “The wood was collected by traders to be exported to Vietnam, but we intercepted it just in time, following orders from military police commander-in-chief Sao Sokha. “We don’t yet know the exact measurements of the logs, but our expert officers are working to calculate it.”
