AYAPURA: A police team in Papua and West Papua provinces claims it confiscated thousands of logs from two freight boats heading for Surabaya, East Java.
The boats reportedly belong to PT N and PT WG.
Jayapura police chief Comr. Paulus Waterpauw said the crews of the boats had not been carrying any legal documents.
“They failed to show legal documents for the haul,” he said in a release sent to The Jakarta Post.
Three suspects were being held for questioning at the Bintuni Police Station.
The police impounded the two boats — Ringgo and Samudera Indonesia — and three log-transporting vehicles and seven large trucks with cutting tools.
The two companies have been operating in Bintuni, West Papua, since 1992. — JP
