From the Phnom Pehn Post:

Three punters came out on the losing side when Siem Reap provincial police raided a cockfighting ring on Tuesday.

Police say the location in Deanrun commune was notorious for hosting matches, but when they arrived to crack down, the operators and bird owners all managed to flee.

Two roosters and a motorbike were confiscated, while the three busted bettors were put on a VIP junket to the provincial court.
