TMG eyeing Subic Freeport car smuggling
By: Rudy J. Abular - Journal
CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga – Some 84 stolen vehicles have been recovered by the PNP-Traffic Management Office 3 during the past few months in Central Luzon.
TMO3 regional chief Senior Supt. Jesus Manubay said an intensified campaign was undertaken in line with the “no plates, no travel” policy of TMG director, Chief Supt. Perfecto P. Palad.
Manubay said most of the recovered vehicles remain impounded in various provincial traffic management offices in the region. However, 21 motor vehicles and eight motorcycles are under the custody of the TMO regional office.
“So far, a total of 56 vehicles have already been returned to their rightful owners,” Manubay said.
TMO3 is also monitoring the movement of imported motor vehicles at the Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga and Subic Freefort Zone in Zambales to help the national government in its anti-smuggling drive.
According to reports, known smugglers continue to deprive the government of badly-needed revenues due to unchecked technical smuggling activities in the two Freeport zones.
Manubay has warned dealers of surplus and knockdown parts of automobiles and sports utility vehicles in Central Luzon against doing business with people selling motor vehicle parts of dubious origin.
TMO3 records showed that many dealers of knockdown vehicles operate in Barangay Capalangan, Apalit, Pampanga, better known as main distribution center of “surplus” second hand vehicle parts. The “center” was raided several times in the past by lawmen in connection “carjacking activities.”
Last week, TMO3 operatives seized a large volume of knockdown parts of SUVs, including door sets at a motor shop in Barangay Sulipan, Calumpit, Bulacan, which is just on the other side of the Apalit river.
