Counterfeiters in the Toils in San Francisco
A major counterfeiting gang was broken up with the arrest of two leaders in San Francisco. The group, about a dozen men, operated for over a year, circulating an estimated £100,000 in bogus currency. Detectives had tracked them to Telh Hill rookeries and seized evidence as they simulated coins and lottery tickets. One leader may turn state's evidence, potentially exposing the rest of the gang.
