In news from Trinidad and Tobago, Japanese investigators are on the prowl in the twin island republic to recover vehicles which were stolen from Japan and shipped to Trinidad and sold as foreign used vehicles. Japanese insurance firms have also sent a representative to recover some 16 vehicles recovered in 2004 by local Police. These included a Honda CRV, a Toyota Rav-4, Prado and Landcruiser, as well as five Mazda RX-8s and one Altezza. Officers of the Stolen Vehicles Squad and the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service seized the vehicles based on information from Interpol and the Japanese police that the vehicles were stolen in Japan and shipped to Trinidad and Tobago. If the Japanese insurance company decides to recover the cars they will have to either sell them in Trinidad or send them back to Japan, offcials said. Meanwhile, the local owners have been given until August 3 to show why the vehicles should not be returned to Japan.
