According to information received, the trigger was a violent clash inside the DV casino, and there are also claims that online gambling was being run inside. Police then carried out a surprise inspection. All of this comes from a reader tip so far, and there has been no official statement.
According to the tipster, gendarmes have now sealed the casino entrance outright and checkpoints are up on the surrounding roads. People at the neighboring Yingjia venue reportedly packed up and left as soon as they saw what was happening.
Earlier reports said both the front and back doors of DV had been blocked. Video circulating from the scene shows the lockdown is still in place, but there is no confirmed word yet on whether anyone has been detained or what the clash led to.
Enforcement in Sihanoukville has stayed intense for the past two years, and any security incident inside a venue can quickly bring wider checks that put the whole area on edge. Chinese nationals working or living nearby should carry their documents over the next few days and stay away from crowds gathering at the scene.
