PHNOM PENH - Cambodian police have rescued 14 Vietnamese girls aged between 13 and 15, and arrested two Vietnamese people on suspicion of human trafficking into Malaysia, a report said today.

The Khmer-language newspaper Kampuchea Thmey said the girls were rescued from a flat in Phnom Penh from where they were expected to be transported to Malaysia.

The newspaper said police confiscated a vehicle that the traffickers had used to deliver the girls from the Cambodia-Vietnam border to Phnom Penh.

Police also seized photos and pornographic disks which were used to teach the girls how to have sex with clients, and the girls' passports.

The two arrested were named as Ti, a 29-year-old male, and an unidentified female aged 25. Both were from Vietnam.

Last August, police arrested three Vietnamese people for trafficking a 17-year-old Cambodian girl to Malaysia. — AFP
