Armed group thwarted by cops before attack
Police arrested six armed men in Siem Reap on Tuesday, while they were staying in a rented room in Siem Reap town. Police said that the owner of the room tipped off police because the men, most of whom were students that were skipping school, were plotting revenge against other suspects stemming from a previous argument. Five swords and a cleaver were confiscated from the suspects, after which police “educated” them and released them because they had not committed a crime.
