Batam customs seize luxury cars from S'pore<\/p>\n
The Batam customs authorities have confiscated tens of used
\nluxury cars shipped from nearby Singapore for failing to have
\nlegal documents.<\/p>\n
Those cars were sealed with white papers reading \"Customs\" at
\nthe Batu Ampar port, Antara reported on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The cars were then parked inside a building near the port.<\/p>\n
Batam Mayor Nyat Kadir issued regulations last April banning
\nthe importation of used cars.<\/p>\n
Under the regulations, all imported used cars must be returned
\nto their country of origin.<\/p>\n
The news agency, however, said that six of the sealed cars,
\nincluding a Honda CRV and Toyota Altis, were moved from the
\nparking lot with an escort of security personnel.<\/p>\n
Tailing the entourage, an Antara reporter observed that the
\ncars were moved to a parking lot at a house in the Rosedale
\nhousing complex in Central Batam.<\/p>\n
The chief of the Batam, Rempang and Galang islands (Barelang)
\nPolice, Comr. Suhartono, was not available for comment.<\/p>\n
The police previously seized 22 used luxury cars illegally
\nimported from Singapore. -- JP<\/p>",
