GANG OF CROOKS
GOVERNMENT BONDS FORGED. EIGHTEEN ARRESTS MADE. (United Press Assn—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 10.20 p.m.) London, April 9. Scotland Yard has run to earth an international gang of crooks who for a year have been forging bonds which were sold in London. The forgeries include British and United States Government securities and British insurance stamps valued at £40,000. It is estimated that the frauds vary from £250,000 to £1,000,000. After suspicions were aroused a London detective flew by aeroplane to Warsaw and persuaded the Polish police to raid premises where a parcel of forged securities was seized. It is disclosed that thus far 18 arrests have been made, of which three were made in London.
