The Panadura- Walana Police have seized an illegally assembled luxury vehicle worth over Rs. 10 million from the Marawila area in Chillaw.

The Police stated that the vehicle, which had illegally assembled the chassis and engine, had been seized following a raid conducted based on a tip-off.

The individual who was in possession of the vehicle was found to be without any official documents pertaining to the vehicle at the time of the seizure.

Further investigations had found that the individual had purchased the luxury vehicle from another person from the Gampaha area six months ago. 

Following issues that had arisen while attempting to register for a revenue licence the new owner of the vehicle had informed the seller, after which the latter had taken all the documents pertaining to the vehicle agreeing to obtain the revenue licence.

Police investigations have revealed that the seller was an individual who has been engaged in the illegal vehicle trade and had been previously arrested for a similar offence.

The seized luxury vehicle is currently in the custody of the Chillaw Police, while the Panadura- Walana Police is conducting further investigations. (NewsWire)
