U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at O’Hare International Airport have found over 40 shipments of counterfeit driver's licenses at the International Mail Facility since August.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at O’Hare International Airport have found over 40 shipments of counterfeit driver's licenses at the International Mail Facility since August. While conducting routine package checks, officers zeroed in on counterfeit documents made outside the U.S., which were likely intended to help underage young adults fake their identities. A total of 1,020 counterfeit U.S. driver's licenses were seized over the last two weeks.
"Not to mention the criminal consequences, CBP's interception of these IDs significantly reduces the chances for alcohol to be purchased by underage individuals and hopefully reduces the consequences of their actions, including deadly accidents."Sutton-Burke also said the reasons for buying fake IDs have changed over time. What used to be just teens trying to get into bars has now shifted to more serious and risky activities.
