According to a chat screenshot shared by the Dashijian channel, a tipster claimed that six Chinese nationals broke out of the holding facility at the Dolphin police station in Sihanoukville on the night of October 17, adding that "a citywide manhunt is now underway."
The claim comes from a single source, and Cambodian police have not issued any official statement. The identities of those involved, the reasons they were held, how they escaped and whether police have actually launched a citywide search all remain unverified.
Sihanoukville is home to a large Chinese community and has been a focus of crackdowns on cross-border online scams and illegal stays. Foreign nationals held in temporary police custody pending deportation are often linked to scam compounds, expired documents or overstays, but there is no reliable information on what these six were held for. If the report is accurate, residents can expect more roadside checks and residential inspections in the coming days.
Chinese residents in Sihanoukville are advised to carry valid identification when going out, follow official police announcements, avoid sharing unverified claims, and never help hide anyone involved.
