Arrests over 'lookalike' fraudulent passports
Ten people in London and Kent have been arrested on suspicion of supplying fraudulent passports to more than 100 high-level organised criminals.

Early-morning raids in South London, Kent, Essex and Merseyside followed an international police investigation.
The gang is accused of supplying passports to clients including jailed drug dealer Jamie Acourt, a suspect in the murder of Stephen Lawrence.
Those arrested are suspected of using paid "lookalikes" to obtain passports.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) said the gang used the "lookalikes" to apply for legitimate replacement passports, but using a criminal's photo, rather than their own.
Jacque Beer, the NCA's regional head of investigations, said: "This is one of the most significant NCA investigations of recent times.
"We believe that this group's activities has enabled some of the most serious organised criminality in the UK and around the world."
She said if the suspects were convicted, it would have "dismantled a criminal service that allowed drug and firearm traffickers, suspected murderers, and fugitives to evade detection and operate internationally under false identities."
Ms Beer said the hope is the case will lead to the "strengthening of safeguards against criminal exploitation of the UK passport issuing system". |
