Pirated VCDs seized

PURWOKERTO, Central Java: Police have confiscated in the last two days 1,335 pirated Video Compact Discs (VCDs) during a sweep of the Banyumas area.

Lt. Col. Jhony H. Hutauruk, chief of Banyumas Police, said here on Tuesday that the VCDs were confiscated from five shops and rental stores.

"We believe the number of pirated VCDs in Purwokerto is still high because there are some 70 locations either selling or renting VCDs," he said, affirming the police's commitment to continue their crackdown on the illegal wares. (45)
