COUNTERFEIT CASH SEIZED IN NEW ZEALAND

Dr K.A. Rodgers of Auckland, New Zealand sent us this
story, which was published on October 20:

"An alleged smuggler was caught with almost $US1.3 million
in counterfeit notes at Auckland International Airport yesterday.

Comptroller of Customs Martyn Dunne said the 46-year-old
New Zealand resident was intercepted at the airport after arriving
from Sydney.

Customs officers had identified him as "a person of interest" on
arrival and a search of his baggage revealed bundles of counterfeit
$US100 notes...

"This is one of the biggest seizures of forged bank notes conducted
by Customs officers at our borders for some time," Mr Dunne said."
