Just heard from friends over at Jinshui China Town that a bunch of military police suddenly rolled in and are going room-to-room checking places. People aren't quite sure if they're checking IDs or something else, but it's a pretty heavy-handed operation.
Things have been a bit tense in Sihanoukville lately, and sweeps like this pop up on the streets from time to time. If you're heading that way on a moto or on foot, it's best to steer clear or stay sharp. Don't go rubbernecking while things are this hot—you don't want to accidentally draw trouble.
Making a living out here isn't easy, so make sure all your paperwork is in order. Local friends are also warning everyone to stay indoors at night lately, keep a low profile, and avoid these heavily checked areas altogether.
