Customs office seizes cars

SURABAYA: The provincial customs and excise office confiscated five luxury Japanese cars as they were about to be smuggled into the country.

Chief of provincial police Maj. Gen. Moch. Dayat said on Thursday the customs officers found four Toyota Land Cruisers and a Toyota Celsior in two unclaimed containers.

Dayat said nobody claimed the containers 30 days after their arrival. The cars were not equipped with the required documents.

"We are still discussing with the customs and excise office whether to reexport the cars," Dayat told Antara.
