Seaport police confiscate Ferraris

JAKARTA (JP): Tanjung Priok Seaport (KP3) Police in North
Jakarta confiscated three Italian made Ferraris from a warehouse
at the port on Thursday morning, KP3 Police chief said on
Thursday.

"When we investigated this case, we found that the cars were
meant to delivered to a very important official here. I'm sorry,
I can't give you the name," Col. Edward Aritonang said.

"We received news from surrounding residents that they had
seen the cars there. We did not believe it, but as police
officers, it was our job to check it out."

"We did. We also confirmed with the port's customs, and, sure
enough, we found the cars."

Edward said that police were still looking into the matter,
while refusing to elaborate on the name or the location of the
warehouse in which the cars were found.

The confiscation of imported luxury cars was the first of its
kind this year. The illegal import of luxury cars was rampant in
the 1970s. (ylt)
