QUETTA: Personnel of the Pakistan Customs seized 11 vehicles worth Rs90 million after their owners failed to pay import duty.

The vehicles impounded in the recent crackdown included Land Cruiser, Surf, Crown and Toyota Premiere.

“A team of the Pakistan Customs raided illegal showrooms on the Airport Road with the help of Frontier Corp and police personnel,” officials said, adding that the vehicles were moved from the showrooms to the Customs House after the owners tried to resist the raid.

Additional collectors Jameel Baloch and Yasir Kuluar, deputy collector Chaudhry Afzal, assistant collector Saleem Tare, Rana Amir, superintendent Saleem Agha and inspector Jamil Kakar were prominent among those who took part in the raid.
