The airport police has deployed four officers at Cambodia flight gates to prevent young Koreans from getting involved in crimes there.
Already, there were two separate cases of Korean men being restrained from boarding flights bound for Cambodia.
1st case: The police randomly questioned a Korean man in his 20s who was waiting to board a flight to Cambodia. He not explain where he got his flight ticket, where in Cambodia he was headed to, and what his lodging accommodations were. He refused to allow the police to talk on the phone with his family or acquaintances. The police discouraged him from boarding the flight.
An hour later, a message popped up on a Telegram scammer group chat room which the police was tracking which said “failed to exit country”.
