Lawmen probe smuggled goods

CIREBON, West Java: The local prosecutors' office is
investigating smuggled goods worth Rp 3 billion (US$1.4 million)
at the local seaport.

Antara, quoting sources at the office, reported yesterday that
investigators were cross-checking information on how the goods
were brought into the port illegally from Batam.

Customs and excise officials said the goods, mostly machinery,
were seized because they were not accompanied by the necessary
documents.

They said it would take them three days to open the containers
and list the contents. They also said they had the names of the
recipients of the goods and that they lived in this town. (pan)
