\nCorolla, a Nissan cut in two parts, an Isuzu Panther in parts,
\nforklifts, generators, compressors, dynamos, seats and

\nimported from Japan and Malaysia, had been partly sold to three
\nmen.<\/p>\n
\"These three suspects have been using fake car documents,\" he

The officer said that of the cars, police had so far
