Security men of the Special Police Station of the Ports Authority of Douala have intercepted 40 vehicles, including 15 trucks smuggled out of the parking lot of TMFD, a private company car park.

The cars were apparently being stolen as their culprits struggled to outsmart detectives.

The operation took place over the weekend inside the premises of the Ports Authority of Douala.

The same operation equally led to the arrest of five individuals who had stolen 30 bags of rice and cement from the Ports Authority of Douala.

Both cases are being tried at the Littoral Judicial Police headquarters in Bonanjo.
