Police here have uncovered a syndicate stealing and shipping cars overseas via containers following the seizure of four 4WD vehicles in two containers in North Port.
Selangor CID chief Senior Assistant Commissioner II Mazlan Mansor said the four Toyota Hilux vehicles, estimated at RM360,000, were found in two separate containers when a police team with the help of the Customs Department raided the North Port yard on Jan 18.
Two men, aged 20 and 33, were detained on Jan 21 in the Klang Valley in connection with the thefts.
One of the vehicles was reported stolen on Jan 17 in Subang Jaya, while the three others were stolen in Johor and Malacca on Jan 14 and 15.
SAC Mazlan said police were questioning the suspects and trying to trace the head of the syndicate.
He said the stealing and shipping activities were so quick that the vehicles were already in containers in Port Klang ready to be shipped just one day after they were stolen.
“Their main modus operandi was to transport the vehicles through forwarding agents.
“The vehicles are to be shipped out through the port to Dubai,” he said.
