16 'hot cars' recovered
CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga -- Some 16 "hot cars" were recovered by operatives of the PNP-Traffic Management Office (TMO) 3 in 12 days of intensified operation against imported and locally made vehicles found to have spurious documents.
Supt. Napoleon M. Cauyan, PNP-TMO3 director, said the operation was in consonance of the government's effort in raising funds derived from "certificate of payments" (CPs) being imposed by the Bureau of Customs (BOC) on all imported vehicles.
Cauyan said BOC Commissioner Napoleon Morales has deputized the TMO3 to help the bureau in running after owners of imported cars who were able to register their vehicles at the Land Transportation Office (LTO) using fake CPs.
Morales was the guest of honor during the 15th PNP Day anniversary celebration at Camp Olivas last Wednesday.
Cauyan said the government has been deprived of millions of pesos in non-payment of taxes and duties of imported cars that passes at the ports of Subic, Manila, Cebu and Batangas by technical smuggling.
He said tax payments for imported vehicles also include payments for vehicle parts, engines and chassis.
According to Cauyan a lot of imported and locally made cars with spurious documents are now plying on the streets without being check by ordinary policeman.
"An ordinary law enforcer who has no knowledge in traffic management could not easily detect if the vehicle's integrity in is question," Cauyan told People's Tonight.
He said TMO operatives are clad with expertise and will flag down vehicles found to have "questionable" license plates.
"By reading the car's plates we could easily detect if it is a hot car or not," Cauyan said.
