This month, a report was filed stating that a man in his 20s, referred to as Mr. A, had lost contact with his family. After checking immigration records, police confirmed that Mr. A lost contact after departing for Cambodia.

Additionally, in June, a report was filed about a man in his 40s who said he was traveling to Cambodia and then lost contact. In May, another man in his 20s, also referred to as Mr. A, traveled to Cambodia to earn money but lost contact with his family a few days after his departure.

Previously, in January of last year, a report was filed regarding a man in his 40s who said he would transit through Cambodia on his way to China but then lost contact.

The police stated that, so far, there is no indication that any of the four missing persons have been detained locally or that their families have been asked for ransom.
