Aussies charged over fake money, credit cards

Two middle-aged Australian men were paraded in front of the media Wednesday following their arrest in Bangkok for alleged fraud related offences.

The two men, both from Sydney, were arrested in a department store in suburban Min Buri on Monday in possession of fake credit cards and counterfeit money, police said.

Immigration police detained the pair after store owners reported they were behaving suspiciously.

John Husein Lerovski, 46, and Vasilos Laskaris, 50, were presented at a press conference at Suan Phlu immigration detention centre, where police displayed 10 fake credit cards and other items reportedly found in their possession.
