UK: 1,800 Fake Passports Seized as Counterfeit Ring Smashed


Chris Greenwood writes in The Independent:

Police uncovered the largest haul of fake passports ever found in the UK as they smashed a massive counterfeiting ring, it was revealed today.

More than 1,800 fake passports with a street value of at least £1 million were discovered in a two-bedroom flat in north London.

Five men were in custody today after fake passports for at least 12 countries were found stuffed into a wardrobe, cupboard and briefcase.

Among the documents were 200 fake UK passports which are often considered by counterfeiters as too difficult to make.
