Police seize porn video CDs

BALIKPAPAN, East Kalimantan: Police have seized 4,072 pornographic video compact discs in a series of raids on video rental shops throughout the province this week.

The province's chief of detective directorate, Col. Zarwan Zaman, said during the operations police also confiscated more than 19,000 pills of illegal drugs.

He said the crackdown would continue after police suspected that some rental shops bought and reproduced the porn VCDs. Rental shop owners who reproduced VCDs would also be charged with copy right violations, Zarwan said.

"The operations will go on into next month to end the circulation of porn discs, or they'll mentally damage our younger generation," he said on Wednesday. (42)
