KARACHI: A very costly car, a “Bentley Mulsanne,” that was stolen from London, United Kingdom, has been found by the Collectorate of Customs Enforcement (CCE), Karachi.
On the basis of information provided by the UK intelligence agency, an extraordinary episode in which a stolen car from London was found in Karachi has generated severe concerns about the effectiveness of the various agencies in the nation.
According to the Foreign media, a grey Bentley Mulsanne, V8 Automatic, with the VIN number SCBBA63Y7FC001375 and the engine number CKB304693, which was stolen from London, is parked in DHA, Karachi.
In order to confirm the accuracy of the information, the CCE team has undertaken intensive monitoring at the aforementioned place.
The automobile that was discovered parked within the house’s car porch was found during a physical search by the department.
When the light grey material was removed, a grey Bentley Mulsanne with the Pakistani registration number BRS-279(2020 Sindh) was discovered in the rear of the car, and a white handcrafted number plate with the letters BRS-279 was discovered at the front.
The vehicle’s chassis number, however, matched the information provided about the stolen car. As a result, the department has detained the owner and the car for additional inquiry.
The car’s owner revealed during the opening stages of the investigation that another individual had sold the vehicle to him and had assumed full responsibility for obtaining the necessary clearances from the relevant authorities.
On the basis of his information, the department also detained the individual who identified himself as a broker and revealed the identity of the primary offender, who is still at large.
According to sources in the customs department, the registration of such a pricey car required sale authorization from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a NOC from Pakistan Customs, and proof that duty and taxes had been paid.
