UK: Pair who ran Hornsey Road illegal credit card factory jailed

Posted on September 15, 2010 by Dissent

Tristan Kirk reports:

Two fraudsters who ran a lucrative credit card factory from a flat in Haringey have been jailed today.

Gabriel Yew and Cheng Chee Weng set up the operation in Hornsey Road, producing bogus bank cards using at least 700 stolen account numbers.

When police raided the flat earlier this year, they discovered more than £10,000 in cash, thousands of pounds-worth of gold jewellery and lists of the stolen account details ready to be put on to the credit cards.

Read more on the Haringey Independent, but it doesn’t say how/where they stole or obtained the account numbers.
