Air crew probed over fake credit cards

MALAYSIA: Malaysian police are investigating several Malaysia Airlines cabin crew members for alleged involvement in a ring that smuggled fake credit cards, a news report said on Tuesday.

The Star newspaper said a 31-year-old Malaysia Airlines steward was arrested at Tokyo's Narita Airport on Sunday carrying 3,000 credit cards believed to be forged. It said a Malaysian student who was to pick up the cards at the airport was also arrested.

Maizan Shaari, director of the Malaysian police's Commercial Crimes Department, was quoted as saying that several cabin crew members had been under investigation for several months in the case. --AP
