Police raided a house and an apartment building in Sihanoukville earlier, sweeping in to arrest several people. Things remain tense downstairs, with diners at street stalls looking up from their food through the moto exhaust to watch the scene unfold.
Officers are still at the building reviewing CCTV footage, carefully checking when the suspects came and went and who was with them, as they try to track down accomplices who are still on the run.
Rental neighborhoods in Sihanoukville are usually busy with a constantly shifting crowd, so when something like this happens, the whole block stays on edge. For anyone renting nearby or working late night shifts, keep your guard up on the streets after dark, stay away from the commotion, and put your safety first.
