But what they found was pricey, high-tech telecommunications equipment?and evidence that boiler-room scams may have spread to Cambodia under the guise of supposedly charitable nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Police detained 20 foreigners in the raid, including 14 Britons, who remain under guard in a Phnom Penh hotel.
