Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One HDLatest broadcast: on BBC One North East & Cumbria

We reveal the extraordinary case of a holidaymaker who was arrested in Jamaica after luggage containing drugs was checked in under her name on a flight to the UK. We investigate fake withdrawals from bank accounts and show sinister new equipment that could allow criminals to carry out what appear to be genuine transactions - by faking our pin numbers.

We follow the story of how one man's visit to his family abroad was ruined after he was sold a fake airline ticket, and how the lives of thousands of workers all over the country are being put in danger by fake safety equipment. Show less
