USD 1.6 mio
Police seized fake travelers' checks valued at US$1.6 million and arrested three suspects in the Black Sea port of Varna, Interior Ministry said Saturday.

Final stage
The checks were found at the final stage of production in a villa in the outskirts of Varna. Subsequent searches of three other houses netted evidence of previous forging operations, including equipment needed for phony check production, the ministry said.

EUR and USD bills
Varna police last year seized some US$1.5 million worth of phony U.S. dollar and euro bills and arrested 17 men on related charges.
