TOKYO: Police who raided an apartment in Nakano Ward, Tokyo, late last year seized 10,000 fake credit cards smuggled in from Malaysia, the largest number of such cards ever confiscated, sources said on Monday.
Officers of the Chiba prefectural police’s international investigation section and New Tokyo International Airport Police Station searched the apartment, which they discovered was being used as a workshop to forge credit cards, on suspicion of possession of equipment to counterfeit credit cards and violation of the Customs Law.
