Cambodian police seized about 60 smartphones from a resort hotel in Sihanoukville Province in a case involving a group suspected of defrauding victims in Japan, according to Japanese investigative sources.
Cambodian authorities have detained 19 Japanese men aged 25-55. Local police have already handed the seized cell phones over to Japanese investigators.
The Metropolitan Police Department, which dispatched about 50 personnel on Monday, suspects the men were using the seized smartphones to defraud victims in Japan.
