OFFICIALS are still investigating the discovery of more than $200,000 worth of stolen vehicles, ammunition and electronics from two shipping containers.

“As far as I am aware, the matter is still being investigated by the Customs Department,” Superintendent Paul Rolle, head of Central Detective Unit, told The Tribune yesterday.

He also said he was not in a position to confirm who brought in two of the three luxury cars that were reportedly falsely undervalued on Customs declarations forms.

“I’ll only get involved in the case’s investigation when it is handed over (to police). When that will be, I cannot say,” he added.

Last Tuesday, officials found two 2007 Chevy Camaros, a 2014 Chevy Silverado and a 2015 Chevy Tahoe in addition to more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition and a few electronics inside two containers. One of the Camaros was licensed in Ohio, USA.

In another operation, three luxury cars (a 2011 Mercedes E350 coupe, 2014 Mercedes E350 sedan and a Porsche Cayenne Hybrid SUV) registered in the state of Colorado were also seized. Officials said two of those vehicles were listed on Customs declarations undervalued and the other was smuggled into the country.

It was reported that suspects could face prosecution in the coming weeks.

Yesterday Assistant Commissioner of Police Anthony Ferguson said as far as he was aware no one was in custody in connection to the seizure.
