Police foil smuggling attempt

Police foil smuggling attempt

BANDAR LAMPUNG, Lampung: 22 trucks carrying logs, resin and
pumice without proper official documents, worth millions of
rupiahs, have been seized by police.

The goods were confiscated in an anti-smuggling operation last
week on the trans-Sumatra highway and at the Bakauheni port,
Lampung police commander Col. Endang Suwanda said yesterday.

The truck drivers are being held for questioning on suspicion
of attempting to smuggle goods into Java, Antara reported.

The haul is the second incident in less than a month after
authorities seized 8.6 kilograms of marijuana on the trans-
Sumatra highway last month. (pan)
