Six Chinese nationals were arrested by Cambodian Police at a hotel in Siem Reap this past week.

Provincial police chief Hou Vanny said the six were taking bets and placing them online with unidentified, foreign gambling websites.

All six men are detained in a Cambodian provincial prison and will appear in Court. They face up to five years of jail time for operating illegal online gambling.
