This is the Warehouse for Storing Smuggled Cars and Motorcycles Raided by Central Java Police

Central Java Police (Polda Jateng) have dismantled the smuggling of cars and motorcycles to Timor Leste. The smuggled vehicles were initially stored in a warehouse in Wonosari, Klaten. According to detikJateng on Friday (24/4/2026), the Smuggling Task Force of the Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation (Ditreskrimsus) of Polda Jateng has arrested two suspects in this case. Dozens of vehicles intended for smuggling were allegedly transported from a warehouse located behind factories along the road towards Solo Baru. The warehouse door faces a village road flanked by rice fields on both sides. The location is in Pandanan Village, Wonosari Subdistrict. The front building resembles an office with a garage door on the side. The walls are unpainted, still showing the cement colour, and are about 2-3 metres high. The warehouse stands on the site of a former rice field plot that stretches lengthwise. The door is closed, with no activity. Klaten Police Criminal Investigation Chief, AKP Taufik Frida Mustofa, stated that the warehouse in Wonosari, Klaten, was used by the perpetrators as a transit point for vehicles to be smuggled to Timor Leste. “First secured in Semarang, in Wonosari it’s just a transit for the units. Pick up the evidence (BB) and return,” said Taufik. Dirreskrimsus of Polda Jateng, Kombes Djoko Julianto, said the case was uncovered after officers received information about a container shipment containing vehicles without proper documents or only with STNK, passing through Semarang City. Officers then secured two containers, each containing 17 motorcycles and two cars. After interrogating the truck drivers, officers followed up at the pickup location for the container contents at the warehouse on Pakis-Daleman Road Km 4, Wonosari. “At the warehouse, 12 motorcycles and two six-wheeled trucks ready to load into containers were found,” Djoko revealed.
