ambi's East Tanjungjabung Police have confiscated two trucks carrying hundreds of contraband electronics worth billions during a recent operation, the provincial police stated on Friday.
The illegal goods, which included Canon cameras and Xiaomi handphones, have an estimated value of Rp 6 billion (US$444,000).
The police said the two trucks were transporting 612 boxes of electronics, with the first truck (license plate BH 8187 HL) carrying 328 boxes and the second truck (BH 8030 MF) carrying the remaining 284 boxes.
The police raided the two trucks as they were passing along Jl. Orang Kayo Hitam in Berbak, East Tanjungjabung, and arrested four people, AND, YB, AT and TS.
Jambi Police spokesperson Adj. Sr. Comr. Kuswayudi Tresnadi said on Friday that the operation was initiated on information from the public, who had reported a vessel from the Riau Islands that had unloaded a shipment of electronic goods at an East Tanjungjabung port.
“The [vessel's] crew could not show proper documentation of their cargo. The goods are being kept at the East Tanjungjabung Police office as evidence,” Kuswahyudi added. (ebf)
