CROOKS TRACKED DOWN.
Scotland Yard Uncovers Great Forgery Gang. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, April 9. Scotland Yard has run to earth an international gang of crooks who, for a year, have been forging bonds which they sold in London. The forgeries include British and United States Government securities and British insurance stamps valued at £40,000. Estimates of the frauds vary from £250,000 to £1,000,000. After suspicions had been aroused, a London detective flew by aeroplane to Warsaw where he persuaded the Polish police to raid premises where a parcel of forged securities was seized and further ramifications of the scheme disclosed. Thus far there have been eighteen arrests of which three were made in London.
