According to a DAP News report published on May 17, 2026, the Phnom Penh Gendarmerie and its Sen Sok district unit inspected a location suspected of secretly selling e-cigarettes in Kok Khleang commune, Sen Sok district, at midday on May 16. A deputy prosecutor of the prosecutor’s office attached to the Phnom Penh Municipal Court coordinated the legal procedures, with participation by local authorities.
Officers seized 13 cartons of FISCO e-cigarettes containing a total of 2,600 boxes and detained a 28-year-old Chinese site owner. The report identified him as XIE SU LONG and said further legal procedures would follow.
