According to activists the cars were put there during last night
Currently, they took the automobiles into custody
The alleged owner of the cars is said to be Viktor Yanukovych's son
Knight 15's, Pickup International's, Bentleys and Mercedes' -- in sum, 12 automobiles with
estimated value of at least 12 million dollars were located by Right Sector Activists yesterday
The automobiles were hidden only 38 kilometers away from Kyiv, in the private storage in Gostomel
They were placed here only yesterday. The alleged owner of all these luxuries is
Viktor Yanukovych Junior, son of the former president.
Journalist: This one here (camera scrolls off to the car) is a cross country armored
jeep Knight 15, launched into production only 6 years ago. Its value is almost 700 000 USD.
To protect the passengers this car is equipped with bomb-detection system and anti-explosion hardware
This one is one of the largest Pickups in the world
Three years ago this particular car was used by Yanukovych's son in rally championship in Ukraine
The value of this car is 130000 USD
At that time another luxurious car was spotted in Yanukovych Junior's entourage
-- Mercedes Cabriolet. The value of this Mercedes is 150000 USD
The leader of the Right Sector Igor Mazur says that all these cars appeared here yesterday night
Igor Mazur: There are people who witnessed their arrival here yesterday. It is the automobile collection of Yanukovych Junior
These cars are just fit for taking part in various rallies.
Igor Dombrovsky, head of the Irpin' Organization for Self-Defense: Yanukovych Sr. likes such
cars from the time when he was a prime minister
It appears that he used them now to evacuate his belongings
Journalist: Only one of those cars has number plates,
some others have insurance information on their windshields
Mazur: Most likely they removed the plates after they arrived here.
Journalist: After a search activists locate the pile of number plates in the trunk of the pickup
It is not known if these plates belonged to these cars.
Hooded activist: These plates belonged to his train. The numbers are identical except
for the last two digits, it suggests these cars were a part of one train. Also, some
plates are scratched and worn, it is obvious that they were in use for some time. Those
(points) are new and slicky, others are worn.
Journalist: The owner of the storage, local businessman Igor Prylypko said, that he does
not know the owner of the cars, did not sign any contracts with them and can not say for
sure how many cars are in his storage and has been there for the whole day.
Prylypko: ...called me and told me, that several cars were brought
I did not think of it much, it is not irregular to store a few cars.
Journalist: All this time the cars in the storage were guarded by a lone guard.
Guard Ruslan Demchenko: Several drivers came in these cars. They did not give their names,
and said that they rented the storage. Then they left the cars and departed
I only did my usual job.
Journalist: Activists of the Right Sector say -- now these cars are under their protection!
