A group of teens in Vaud have learned the hard way that fake IDs come with real consequences.
They were caught after customs intercepted a package containing forged identity cards and a driver’s licence that had been bought online from the UK.
Police say the teens wanted them to get into nightclubs.
All have now been convicted by the Juvenile Court.
Authorities are reminding families that using fake documents - even for a night out - is a criminal offence.
