Mr Bunnach said that his department had cooperated with district police to shutdown the illegal business suspected of procuring sex for clients and to send the owners to court. In the future police hope to raid a further 42 illegal businesses in the Kampong Cham province, in crackdowns aimed at eliminating brothels in the area, he said.
Some 50 percent of these were believed by police to be brothels, he added. Under the anti-human trafficking law, those convicted of procuring prostitution face between two and five years in prison.
