The vehicle costs more than $300,000 and it is the brand's largest and most expensive handcrafted sedan.
Officials took the owner of the residence and the individual who sold him the vehicle in to custody after the house owner failed to provide adequate documents.
The registration of the vehicle has also been forged, said Customs officials.
According to the FIR filed by Customs officials, a tax of more than Pak Rs 300 million was evaded due to the smuggling of the stolen vehicle.
