0:00:03 > 0:00:07Welcome to a world where nothing is quite as it seems.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Welcome to Fake Britain!
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Get down! Get your hands behind your back!
0:00:26 > 0:00:29It's just an ordinary house. It could be anywhere in the country.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32But this is a house that's filled with fakes,
0:00:32 > 0:00:36and you may not know it, but your home could be full of them too.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39During the series we'll be investigating the criminals trying
0:00:39 > 0:00:44to get their hands on your cash by using forgeries, frauds and fakery.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48And I'll be showing you how you can avoid being taken for a ride.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55On today's show - some unexpected guests gatecrash a fake wedding.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58The wedding's not going to happen today. You're under arrest.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03The sophisticated fake £20 notes causing misery across the country.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06He said, "You are going to prison."
0:01:08 > 0:01:12I just could not believe that this was happening to me.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15And the fake baby products that could kill.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22You're likely to see internal bleeding of the organs.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Over 200,000 of us choose to tie the knot every year,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34but not everyone's doing it for love.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39There's a dedicated criminal industry using fake marriage
0:01:39 > 0:01:42as a way around our immigration laws.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45But unfortunately for some lying lovebirds,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49the UK Border Agency has put itself on the guest list.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56It's wedding day at Hillingdon Registry Office
0:01:56 > 0:01:57for one happy couple.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01And just around the corner
0:02:01 > 0:02:05these surprise guests are dressed and ready for the big day.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10The wedding's scheduled to take place today at 14:30 hours.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14They're officers from the UK Border Agency.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20And there's a good reason why lead officer Shahin
0:02:20 > 0:02:23doesn't want to turn up to the ceremony late.
0:02:23 > 0:02:29We've received notification from Hillingdon Council that what they
0:02:29 > 0:02:33believe to be a fake wedding is going to be taking place this afternoon.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37The intelligence they received from the Registry Office suggests
0:02:37 > 0:02:41the bride and groom might not be your average loved-up couple.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Inside the underground car park of Hillingdon Registry Office,
0:02:47 > 0:02:51the Border Agency officers get the invite they've been waiting for.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54They're in the room, are they? OK, we're off.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56And there's no time to lose.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04When the officers arrive, the bride and groom are being held in a room.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Hello, there.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Susanna, you want to get up, please, for me?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10This isn't exactly the wedding reception
0:03:10 > 0:03:12the bride and groom had in mind.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15We'll see you in two minutes, yeah?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17The suspects need to be separated immediately
0:03:17 > 0:03:21so they can't collaborate with each other to get their stories straight.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I'm going to ask you some questions, all right?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Shahin will question the groom, an Indian national,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29whose student visa has expired.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32In the room next door, his colleague Andy Kemp will question
0:03:32 > 0:03:34the bride, who's from Hungary.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Going to start asking you some questions now.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Both officers are armed with the same set of questions,
0:03:40 > 0:03:44designed to uncover the real truth behind this couple's wedding plans.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Where did you meet?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Where in Piccadilly?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52You met in a park? In Piccadilly?
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Which park?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Yeah, it's not quite the old classic love story.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Boy meets girl, boy can't quite remember where he met girl.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11What did you talk about? What languages do you speak?
0:04:16 > 0:04:17You speak Hungarian?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Give me two Hungarian words.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26"Yo" means "good".
0:04:26 > 0:04:29You speak three or four words of Hungarian.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33The bride-to-be and her fiance can't have that much to talk about.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Whilst the groom speaks English but barely any Hungarian,
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Andy Kemp is discovering that she speaks no English at all
0:04:39 > 0:04:42and needs a translator to understand his questions.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Can you give me the names of the people living there?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48INTERPRETER TRANSLATES
0:04:48 > 0:04:50WOMAN REPLIES IN HUNGARIAN
0:04:55 > 0:04:58She doesn't know the names of any of her supposed housemates.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Andy passes this information on to Shahin.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06We've asked Susanna who else lives in your house.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Bearing in mind you live in a shared house.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13She's been living there for almost six months...
0:05:14 > 0:05:17..and she doesn't know who else lives in the house at all.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19That's very strange.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Not no, yes! Yes, that is strange.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Something about this couple's love story just isn't adding up.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Surely the groom knows the names of his prospective in-laws.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33The mother's name? What's her mother's name?
0:05:37 > 0:05:41If somebody asks me what my fiance's mother's name is,
0:05:41 > 0:05:42I will know just like that.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46I'll put down "I don't know," yeah?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Because you haven't been able to tell me.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51You just can't remember.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Can't remember, OK.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56While he doesn't know his prospective mother-in-law's name,
0:05:56 > 0:06:00there is one name the groom seems to be very familiar with.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Dad, what's his name?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Richard.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Her brother's name?
0:06:07 > 0:06:08He's called Richard as well?
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Father and brother are both called Richard. OK.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Where do you live?
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Richards?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Yeah.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Everything's Richard.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21When questioned about what they did together the previous evening,
0:06:21 > 0:06:23things get even more confusing.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Can you tell me what you did last night?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28INTERPRETER TRANSLATES
0:06:36 > 0:06:39So you ate your burgers, you sat on your bed
0:06:39 > 0:06:43and you listened to music on your laptop.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Their stories don't match and there's only one real conclusion.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52It's clear to me and anyone who would hear this interview,
0:06:52 > 0:06:55that you are not in a genuine relationship with this woman.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Um...
0:06:57 > 0:07:01The wedding's not going to happen today. OK?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03This man thought today he'd be reading his vows.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Instead Shahin is reading him his rights.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Anything you do say may be given in evidence. You understand?
0:07:11 > 0:07:12You're under arrest.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Yeah.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19He's going to be wearing handcuffs instead of a ring.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22And rather than being joined in holy matrimony with his fake bride,
0:07:22 > 0:07:24he's found himself joined at the wrist
0:07:24 > 0:07:26to a burly Border Agency officer.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31He'll be taken to an immigration detention centre and from there
0:07:31 > 0:07:35we'll set removal directions for him to be removed back to India.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39The groom's currently awaiting deportation.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42WPC: Don't touch me like that! Let's go, please.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44WOMAN SHOUTS IN HUNGARIAN
0:07:44 > 0:07:47The bride-to-be is rather unhappy about being left at the altar
0:07:47 > 0:07:51and the police have been called in to remover her from the premises.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55There's not enough evidence for the UK Border Agency to arrest her
0:07:55 > 0:07:59and as she's an EU citizen she's left to make her own way home.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02It's a small win. You have to take the wins when you can.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07Whether we'll win the war in due course, the jury's still out,
0:08:07 > 0:08:09but certainly the small battles, we're winning.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18It's not the first or last time this has happened, and coming up
0:08:18 > 0:08:22we delve into the world of the fake wedding gang that made thousands.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26This gang was making anywhere between £8,000 and £10,000 per fake wedding.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36How many of these have you got in your purse or wallet?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39A clean, crisp £20 note.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Well, hopefully not too many, because this one is fake,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45although it looks and feels just like the real thing.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47And that's the bad news.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50The days when you could bank on being able to spot
0:08:50 > 0:08:54a dodgy £20 note are long gone.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59Counterfeiters have upped their game and you and I, we're the targets.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Previously, fake Britain was on the scene when City of London Police
0:09:06 > 0:09:11uncovered one of Britain's largest ever counterfeit money operations.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15The gang were caught red-handed with the professional-quality
0:09:15 > 0:09:19printers, inks, papers and other equipment needed to produce
0:09:19 > 0:09:22millions of pounds-worth of fake money.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Ringleader Anthony Higgs is now serving eight years in prison.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32But there are other gangs out there still producing fake notes
0:09:32 > 0:09:33of high quality.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Notes that are causing havoc across the country.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43Purley in Surrey has seen a blizzard of fake notes in recent months.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Sunny Patel runs a convenience store just off the local high street.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53And business was good until a routine visit to the bank
0:09:53 > 0:09:55with the shop's takings burst his bubble.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01What happened was, when we did our banking, we got a letter
0:10:01 > 0:10:05from Alliance & Leicester and they said, "You've got a fake £20 note."
0:10:06 > 0:10:09We think, "OK, once it could happen."
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Unfortunately for Sunny, the fake 20 wasn't a one-off.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16It just started occurring more and more.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19So then afterwards we realised there is a lot of people
0:10:19 > 0:10:21coming around here with fake notes.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25And things got worse for Sunny as he realised that
0:10:25 > 0:10:29a lot of the cash being handed over in the Good News convenience store
0:10:29 > 0:10:31was very BAD news for business.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37I've been so affected, I've had, like, £1,000-worth so far.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40We're a small convenience store
0:10:40 > 0:10:44and money at the end of the day counts for us. Every penny counts.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Sunny knows plenty of other local business owners.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50He reckons he's not the only one who's been taken in by dud 20s.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54At the moment in Purley, in Croydon, there's
0:10:54 > 0:10:56so many fake notes going around.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59There's an unbelievable amount and very good forgery.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Sunny's always handled cash and prides himself on his ability
0:11:04 > 0:11:07to spot a fake note just by looking at it.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Until now, that is.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11This is a real £20 note right over here.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14As you can see, it looks crystal-clear.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Now I'm going to bring a duplicate right next to it.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Now, as you can see, you can't tell which is fake or real.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22It's such a good quality, it's unbelievable.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24The texture, everything, looks the same.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26The icon there, there's an icon there.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28They're both shiny as each other.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32So it's very difficult to tell in this country what a fake note is
0:11:32 > 0:11:33and what a fake note isn't.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Fake £20 notes have become so sophisticated,
0:11:38 > 0:11:42it's not only business owners who have trouble spotting them.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47We took to the streets to see if the great British public could
0:11:47 > 0:11:49spot a fake £20 banknote.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Both of them are real.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Even the strips that I would normally look for, like,
0:11:55 > 0:11:59the hologram strips and stuff, look really, really similar.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02I would probably just take it and not even think about it.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04I don't think I would have spotted it was wrong.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05I'd just put it in my purse.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I wouldn't look at it at all. I'd just think, "Cheers!"
0:12:08 > 0:12:10I think I'd accept it, probably.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13And only when I got it pushed back at me I'd know it was wrong.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14That's too good.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Most of the people we spoke to were fooled by these
0:12:17 > 0:12:20sophisticated fake £20 notes.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25We wanted to find out more about where these notes were
0:12:25 > 0:12:27coming from and what can be done about them,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30so we paid a visit to the Bank of England.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Deep in the vaults,
0:12:32 > 0:12:36surrounded by billions of pounds of REAL cash, Head of Notes,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Victoria Cleland,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40explained that fake money isn't a recent phenomenon.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47Counterfeit notes have actually been in circulation as long as real notes.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51I mean, it's a sad fact that as soon as banks started issuing notes,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53counterfeiters started counterfeiting them,
0:12:53 > 0:12:56and that's the same pretty much across the world.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59And the counterfeiters aren't just small-time criminals.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03There are a number of organised criminal gangs in the UK that
0:13:03 > 0:13:04do produce counterfeit notes,
0:13:04 > 0:13:09and, with the police, the bank are always trying to capture them.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13But they've been busy.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Recent figures show that in one year alone,
0:13:15 > 0:13:19there were about 375,000 counterfeit notes out there.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24That's £6.3 millions-worth of fake notes flying around.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27And with those notes getting more sophisticated,
0:13:27 > 0:13:29it's getting harder to spot them with the naked eye.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Luckily, there's some portable technology out there that can
0:13:33 > 0:13:35give us a helping hand.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39This machine, if you put a genuine note through it,
0:13:39 > 0:13:41it will say that's fine.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44But you could take a counterfeit note, again of a 20,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46put this into the machine...
0:13:46 > 0:13:48BEEPING ..and it rejects it.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50That's saying this is a counterfeit note.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Other, cheaper, machines use ultraviolet light to tell you
0:13:53 > 0:13:56if you've got a fake note.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58So this is the genuine £20 note
0:13:58 > 0:14:02and you'll see a very clear diamond green and red.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06If, however, I put the counterfeit £20 note in...
0:14:08 > 0:14:10..you'll see none of that extra colour coming through.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14The counterfeiters just haven't been able to replicate that.
0:14:14 > 0:14:21But, Head of Notes, how big a problem are these counterfeit bills?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23While the probability of receiving a counterfeit note
0:14:23 > 0:14:25is absolutely tiny -
0:14:25 > 0:14:28a fraction of one per cent of all notes out there is counterfeit -
0:14:28 > 0:14:32it is important for people to be aware that there is a potential risk
0:14:32 > 0:14:36there, and the best thing to do is check notes when you receive them.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42So the Bank of England says fake money isn't a big problem,
0:14:42 > 0:14:44but it is out there and, when it turns up,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46it has the power to destroy lives.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Coming up, we see how the new breed of £20 notes can lose you
0:14:51 > 0:14:53a lot more than your business.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55They can take your pets away from you.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I felt sick cos I thought, "My babies have gone!"
0:14:58 > 0:15:00And even get you locked up.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I thought, "God, what's going to happen?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04"I'm never boing to see England again!"
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Every year, proud parents spend a small fortune on
0:15:14 > 0:15:15sporty buggies like this.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17But, as you may have guessed,
0:15:17 > 0:15:21because it's the Fake Britain house, this is a fake!
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Have a look at this.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28The real thing, and Noah is safely tucked up inside it.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Now, this model could cost you over £500.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36With that kind of money on offer, no wonder the fakers are interested.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39But they're not necessarily interested in safety.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42And that's bad news for babies.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50Kelly Turner is a mum-to-be who likes her prams. A lot!
0:15:50 > 0:15:52I love the fabrics, I love the textiles,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54the different chassis finishes.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Anything that's unique, I love.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00This is a Phil & Teds E3 in red.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04This is a Buzz 3, with three wheels, in a strawberry fabric.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06This is a Maxi Cosi Mura 3.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09I actually bought this to match an outfit I was wearing to a wedding.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13I think it's fair to say I know my prams.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Yes, Kelly is a pram-head.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18But when baby number three was on the way, there was
0:16:18 > 0:16:21only one pram that would do - the Bugaboo Cameleon.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27With Bugaboos having such a great reputation for quality, they're also
0:16:27 > 0:16:31great for customising, so from our point of view
0:16:31 > 0:16:35I could have one buggy and make it look like 20 different buggies.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Kelly trawled the internet and it wasn't long before what
0:16:40 > 0:16:44seemed like a perfect brand popped up.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47It was a lady selling it that had just had a baby shower and her and
0:16:47 > 0:16:52her partner had bought one already, so she wanted to sell the excess.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57There was no doubt about it, this was her pram,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59and she had her heart set on it.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02So she and her husband Sam went ahead
0:17:02 > 0:17:05and paid a hard-earned £663 for it.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08When the buggy actually arrived,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11it was like Father Christmas had arrived.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14We ran into the front room and Sam carried the parcel through behind me.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17And it was just really lovely. It was really exciting.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Husband Sam had worked long and hard to get the money for the pram.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26I wanted to save the pennies and make sure we got the right one.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29So I'm working Saturdays, you know, staying late,
0:17:29 > 0:17:33trying to save up the money for this.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37And at first sight the Bugaboo buggy and its packaging looked perfect.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41When you open it out, this is what you get.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46There's the tailored fabrics, which have the branding on.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49And as well as that, it also has the owner's manual,
0:17:49 > 0:17:53which again is branded, it's on heavy-quality paper.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55It's got the instructions.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Um, they're very clear, there's no spelling mistakes.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03None of these things make you think that it's anything other than
0:18:03 > 0:18:05a genuine Bugaboo.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07But then looks can be deceiving.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09And as they assembled the pram,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12it was clear that it fell way below expectation.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15The quality just wasn't there.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18This pram was a sham.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Look at that! Both wheels...
0:18:22 > 0:18:28Now, I'm no expert on buggies, but...it's quite self-explanatory.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31It's not right. If that came off going down a hill,
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Kelly, you've got no chance of stopping it, have you?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36And what about the brakes?
0:18:36 > 0:18:40We've noticed that if Sam pushes the buggy, one wheel is static
0:18:40 > 0:18:42and the other wheel is still moving.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46It doesn't take a pram expert to know that there was something
0:18:46 > 0:18:49seriously wrong with Kelly's new pram.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Armed with the pram's serial number,
0:18:51 > 0:18:55she called Bugaboo to find out what was going on.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I said, "Could you confirm what model it's for?"
0:18:58 > 0:19:01And she said, "For a 2009 silver model,"
0:19:01 > 0:19:05and that's when the alarm bells started to ring, because the model
0:19:05 > 0:19:09I had in front of me was black and it was absolutely a 2011, 2012 model.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11And that's when I really panicked.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19Bugaboo had confirmed Kelly's worst fears, that she and Sam
0:19:19 > 0:19:24had indeed spent £663 on a fake Bugaboo Cameleon.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27The fakers were using genuine Bugaboo serial numbers
0:19:27 > 0:19:29on their fake Bugaboo prams.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33With just weeks to go before giving birth to her daughter,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Kelly was inconsolable.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38My face fell. I was just devastated. I just knew straight away.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40I couldn't believe it!
0:19:41 > 0:19:43It sounds really dramatic,
0:19:43 > 0:19:45but it really took some of the shine off the pregnancy
0:19:45 > 0:19:49because it was such a worry, because we had this lump of metal
0:19:49 > 0:19:52and fabric that we could do nothing with.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I was very angry.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57For someone to do that, for someone to make a fake buggy...
0:19:57 > 0:20:00try and sell it on for some money, to make money
0:20:00 > 0:20:04and got no conscience about putting a baby in it...
0:20:04 > 0:20:07don't care about the risks of it. I was very angry.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13The fake Bugaboo buggy left the couple without a trustworthy pram
0:20:13 > 0:20:16to put their new baby in.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20It's been awful. It really has.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22It's been so upsetting and, you know,
0:20:22 > 0:20:26the worry that the child, the baby's going to come home from the hospital
0:20:26 > 0:20:29and we're not going to have a buggy is huge.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Thankfully, Kelly and Sam did manage to get a genuine safe pram
0:20:35 > 0:20:39in time for the arrival of their new baby daughter a few weeks later.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44We spoke to Bugaboo about the counterfeiting of their prams.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46They said:
0:20:58 > 0:21:01But prams aren't the only baby product out there being faked.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Coming up, we investigate the fake child car seats putting
0:21:05 > 0:21:06children's lives at risk.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09It could lead to strangling of the neck.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Earlier, we followed the UK Border Agency on an operation to
0:21:20 > 0:21:23stop a fake wedding in its tracks.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28The wedding's not going to happen today.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32But this fake wedding isn't an isolated case.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Take a look at these happy couples.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37The kisses, the confetti.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40These aren't wedding videos.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45This is covert surveillance filmed by the UK Border Agency
0:21:45 > 0:21:48of a series of fake weddings
0:21:48 > 0:21:51and they were all arranged by one fake wedding criminal gang.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55The main ringleader
0:21:55 > 0:21:58and orchestrator of the fake wedding gang was Maria Loureiro.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05She lived in London. She was an interpreter by occupation.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09The perfect cover to participate in hundreds of weddings.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Maria Loureiro seen here at Liverpool Airport was
0:22:12 > 0:22:15the Portuguese facilitator of the fake weddings.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20First, she'd arrange for Portuguese brides to fly into the UK.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Maria's role included introducing the brides to the
0:22:23 > 0:22:24grooms for the first time.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Taking them to a number of institutions in the UK
0:22:28 > 0:22:29to support the applications.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Setting up bank accounts and utility companies, all of which were fake.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37After the European brides had the fake documentation they needed
0:22:37 > 0:22:40for a marriage in the UK, they were then ready to marry
0:22:40 > 0:22:44their Indian grooms at registry offices across the North of England.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47And these couples weren't tying the knot for love.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50The fake weddings take part for two reasons.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55The first reason is for the Indian nationals to marry a European national.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57The Indians then get to stay in the UK.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01The other obvious advantage for the EU nationals, in this case,
0:23:01 > 0:23:04the Portuguese, is that they were able to make some money.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Some serious money.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11Maria was making anywhere between £8,000 and £10,000 per fake wedding.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14When this conspiracy was at its peak there were at least two weddings
0:23:14 > 0:23:16taking place every week.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20So it was conceivable that Maria was earning £20,000 every week
0:23:20 > 0:23:22for her part in the fake weddings.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26The brides themselves were earning anywhere between £500 and £2,000.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30With just such huge profits at stake, Loureiro had to make
0:23:30 > 0:23:33each fake wedding look as real as possible.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35The brides went to a lot of effort with their dress.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40They were getting off the plane wearing normal kind of western European tops.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44And then 24 hours later they'd be in full Indian dress
0:23:44 > 0:23:45with Indian jewellery.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50And on the wedding day itself, Maria Loureiro made sure
0:23:50 > 0:23:53the ceremony looked as convincing as possible.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57There's anything from confetti to genuine family members turning up
0:23:57 > 0:23:59with children, taking photographs.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02And of course, wedding pictures can be crucial if you're trying
0:24:02 > 0:24:05to convince someone that you should be allowed to stay in the UK.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09So Maria Loureiro would take the couple to local parks
0:24:09 > 0:24:10for photo opportunities.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14There's even one of a bride and a groom play-acting around a tree.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18But Maria Loureiro became anxious that attending
0:24:18 > 0:24:21so many different fake weddings at the same registry office
0:24:21 > 0:24:26might raise eyebrows so she decided that blondes might have more fun.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29She wanted to create a fake identity.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32So she could continue to keep using Blackburn Registry Office
0:24:32 > 0:24:34and deceive the registrars.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37But it was the platinum blonde disguise that led to the
0:24:37 > 0:24:39gang's downfall.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Her disguise most certainly backfired on her.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44She went for a particular shade of blonde which was really
0:24:44 > 0:24:48different than her normal hair, and that really alerted the registrars
0:24:48 > 0:24:51and then consequentially the Border Agency.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57The UK Border Agency sprang into action with Operation Frampton.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00A covert mission to film the fake weddings
0:25:00 > 0:25:05and gather enough hard evidence to take down the fake wedding gang.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08It didn't take them long to capture the tell-tale signs that these
0:25:08 > 0:25:10weddings were not what they seemed.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Some of the wedding breakfasts weren't as romantic
0:25:12 > 0:25:14as you might expect.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17It certainly isn't normal that they have the wedding breakfast in McDonald's.
0:25:17 > 0:25:23On the most important day of their life and then they're enjoying some fast food at other ends of the table.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26The UK Border Agency finally had enough video evidence to
0:25:26 > 0:25:28arrest the fake wedding gang.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32The gang received in excess of 18 years imprisonment.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36The main organiser, Maria, she was sentenced to 45 months
0:25:36 > 0:25:40and all the brides and grooms took sentences between 14 and 18 months.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43This gang, without question,
0:25:43 > 0:25:47had the capability to be one of the most prolific gangs that we
0:25:47 > 0:25:50would have seen doing fake marriages in the northwest.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04Earlier, we saw how fake £20 notes are bruising British business
0:26:04 > 0:26:06and how the fakes are getting so good
0:26:06 > 0:26:09that you'll probably need a machine to spot them
0:26:09 > 0:26:12but right across the country innocent members of the public
0:26:12 > 0:26:14are falling prey to fake money,
0:26:14 > 0:26:16sometimes with heartbreaking consequences.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23In Leeds, Kim Sewards has her hands full with two children
0:26:23 > 0:26:24and three dogs.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Give me Fifi as well.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32All of this while running the charity that was set up
0:26:32 > 0:26:34in the name of her daughter, Kiah.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36She had a massive fit.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41And I took her to the doctor's and she had a CT scan
0:26:41 > 0:26:43and she had a brain tumour.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47After a life-saving operation, Kiah made a full recovery and mum,
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Kim, wanted to find a way to help others going through the same thing.
0:26:51 > 0:26:58We agreed to set up Kiah's Dream and it helps people like me
0:26:58 > 0:27:01that had no information whatsoever.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Busy with home life and running the charity,
0:27:03 > 0:27:08Kim was left with little choice when three dogs became five.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Kim decided to sell the puppies on the internet.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14A chance to make someone happy and for the money to go to a good cause.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18This is the actual advert and it says boy and girl Chihuahua.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22It says that £100 from each sale will go to Kiah's Dream.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25With two cuddly Chihuahua puppies on offer, it wasn't long
0:27:25 > 0:27:27before they got some interest.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31A guy phoned, really interested in them.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34And I thought, yeah, we'll let them go, he's nice,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37sounds nice, they're going to a good home.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40But when the puppies' prospective new owners turned up,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43something about them wasn't quite right.
0:27:43 > 0:27:49The door went and there were two skinny runty looking lads.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54They didn't look like they sounded on the phone but I gave them the benefit of the doubt.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Whilst the men were a bit rough around the edges,
0:27:57 > 0:27:59their money looked OK.
0:27:59 > 0:28:05It was just a nice big wad of £20 notes. Very crisp looking. Nice.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09But the deal was about to go horribly wrong.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13They very quickly scarpered out the door
0:28:13 > 0:28:18and that's when I thought something's wrong, really wrong.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Taking a closer look at the £20 notes, Kim realised they weren't
0:28:21 > 0:28:23what they appeared to be.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26I checked every 20 under the light
0:28:26 > 0:28:31and every single 20 were fake. £700 of fake 20s.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Shocking. I felt sick.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41And the realisation that she'd lost her puppies for fake cash
0:28:41 > 0:28:43left Kim truly shaken.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46I thought I was going to collapse.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50I fell to the floor because I thought my babies have gone.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52It made me just a nervous wreck.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54I couldn't go out of the house for days.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58I was scared they were going to come back, do something else,
0:28:58 > 0:29:00try and get the other puppy.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04But it's Kim's daughter, Kiah, who's really distraught about the puppies.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08She just wants to know what happened to them.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10I thought they'd either get killed or they've been
0:29:10 > 0:29:14thrown into a lake in a carrier bag and all that.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18I do miss them because... Erm...
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Mum... One minute.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30They're not our doggies any more.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Some kid will be looking after them
0:29:32 > 0:29:35and playing with them lots in the garden.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38KIAH SOBS AND LAUGHS
0:29:38 > 0:29:41The fake money is a double blow for the family.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45Not only have they lost the puppies but Kiah's brain tumour charity
0:29:45 > 0:29:48won't now be getting the donation that it needs.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52It would have been £200 and it would have helped so much. I was gutted.
0:29:53 > 0:29:59I'm really, really upset that that's going to lose out my charity.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02It's made Kim much more suspicious about the money that she
0:30:02 > 0:30:04comes into contact with.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Now I'm a little bit more careful because if you use
0:30:07 > 0:30:09it in the wrong place and you have no idea because they're so good.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12They can get you into trouble.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18And trouble is exactly what Anne West
0:30:18 > 0:30:20and her husband Barry from Wales ran into.
0:30:22 > 0:30:27Each year for the last 18, they've swapped the rolling Welsh countryside
0:30:27 > 0:30:31for the exotic surroundings of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.
0:30:34 > 0:30:40The main attraction of going to Abu Dhabi for us is the sunshine.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43The people. Just the way of life.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Their last trip began like any other
0:30:47 > 0:30:50with Anne withdrawing £2,000 from her local bank.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55But it was when they arrived in Abu Dhabi
0:30:55 > 0:30:59and Anne tried to change her British pounds into the local currency,
0:30:59 > 0:31:01the United Arab Emirates dirham,
0:31:01 > 0:31:04that the holiday dream started turning sour.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08We were just told one of the £20 notes was a fake one.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14We said, it can't be fake, I brought it from my bank.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21And then a load of people gathered around us that were bank employees.
0:31:21 > 0:31:26To make sure we weren't going to run for it I suppose. I don't know.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29At first, the couple weren't overly concerned.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33Barry and I were standing there just sort of a bit laughey and jokey
0:31:33 > 0:31:39really, fully expecting to walk away and they would keep that note.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41But then the police turned up.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45And Anne and Barry realised it wasn't very funny any more.
0:31:45 > 0:31:51I did realise that they thought that I was this...
0:31:52 > 0:31:57counterfeiting grandmother or whatever but I did say to them...
0:31:58 > 0:32:02I'm just an ordinary everyday little grey-haired old grandma.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Granny or not, the police weren't messing around with someone
0:32:07 > 0:32:11who they believed might be a master counterfeiter.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14They immediately transferred Anne and Barry to a prison
0:32:14 > 0:32:18some way out of town where the man in charge had some very bad news.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23He said you have to stay, you are going to prison,
0:32:23 > 0:32:24your husband can go.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29We were stunned. We were numb.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32I think that's the right description, we were numb.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41I just could not believe that this was happening to me.
0:32:48 > 0:32:53Barry went off, he was allowed to just say goodbye quickly
0:32:53 > 0:32:56and that was that.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Off he went. Into the dark night.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Anne was now all alone inside a prison cell.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09I just lay down on this bunk bed.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Dirty mattress. No sheets.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16Dirty pillow, no pillowcase, no anything, no blankets, nothing.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Laid on that and just thought I've got to go to sleep.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21I've got to forget about it.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23I'll hopefully wake up and it'll be a bad dream.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28But this was no bad dream. It was the real thing.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Anne was being held on suspicion of counterfeiting money
0:33:31 > 0:33:34and she was starting to struggle with the idea.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37I just felt as if it couldn't really be happening.
0:33:37 > 0:33:44I was...I don't know, sort of...closed down inside.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48When it was time to appear in front of the judges,
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Anne thought things would finally be cleared up. No such luck.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Two of the three judges said guilty.
0:33:58 > 0:33:59And so back to prison.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05I thought, God, what's going to happen?
0:34:05 > 0:34:10I'm never going to see England again. I, you know, my family.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16It was a desperate time for Anne and in prison her mood continued
0:34:16 > 0:34:17to darken.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19I thought, I'm not going to get out of here.
0:34:19 > 0:34:26And I can't, I can't be like this. This can't be the rest of my life.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31So I was trying to think of what I could do that would sort of end it.
0:34:31 > 0:34:32Get me out of it.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39If this is going to be my life it's, it's not worth living.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Anne's husband Barry knew he needed to act quickly.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53The emotional state that Anne was in was very, very bad.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54She was sobbing.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57She was saying why me, why me, what have I done to deserve this?
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Barry did everything he could to clear Anne's name,
0:35:01 > 0:35:04contacting the embassies in Abu Dhabi and London.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10All of a sudden the news they'd been waiting for came in.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15One of the prison warders said, "British, come".
0:35:17 > 0:35:22So I got up and followed her through. And she said, "You go".
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Just like that,
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Anne's three-day ordeal in an Abu Dhabi prison was over.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34The authorities finally understood she was an innocent victim of
0:35:34 > 0:35:38a fake banknote and not a counterfeiting criminal mastermind.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41Back in Wales,
0:35:41 > 0:35:45she realised it wasn't going to be over quite that quickly.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49I was in a bad state. I was sleeping all the time.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52I was just sitting around like a zombie not doing anything,
0:35:52 > 0:35:54not eating.
0:35:55 > 0:36:00The memory I have of Anne in prison, in a very bad state,
0:36:00 > 0:36:03sobbing her heart out will live with me forever.
0:36:05 > 0:36:10The emotional impact of that one £20 note really has...
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Scarred us for life.
0:36:13 > 0:36:19It's amazing to think something that small,
0:36:19 > 0:36:25really that insignificant could have caused all this trouble.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31For Anne and Barry, time has proven a great healer.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Amazingly their experience hasn't put them off
0:36:34 > 0:36:35holidaying in Abu Dhabi.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41These days, the first thing the Wests do before going on holiday
0:36:41 > 0:36:44is run all their money through a counterfeit note checker.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48Wherever we go there's always room for our friend in the suitcase.
0:36:56 > 0:37:01Earlier on we heard how a heavily pregnant mum lost over £600.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04On a worryingly rickety fake buggy.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Fakers making money out of parents who are trying to get
0:37:08 > 0:37:11the best for their kids at the best price is one thing
0:37:11 > 0:37:15but when it puts those kids at risk, that's quite a different matter.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Now this car seat is supposed to be there
0:37:17 > 0:37:20to protect your child in the case of an accident.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23But as you're about to see, it does anything but.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26It's a fake and it's on sale online right now.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Hannah Davies from Birmingham Trading Standards is worried
0:37:32 > 0:37:36about the rising number of fake baby products coming into Britain.
0:37:37 > 0:37:42A worrying new trend is a trade in fake car seats like this one.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44It's very, very flimsy material.
0:37:44 > 0:37:49More like a child's bib than a car seat, I think you'll agree.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53Frankly, the fakers of this car seat haven't done a very good job of it.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57Oh, there you go. Well, it's obviously not sewn in very well.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01It's a baby product with suspect safety credentials.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Many of the claims that are made on these instructions are fake.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06This ought to meat a European standard.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10Clearly it doesn't, it therefore makes it fake in that respect.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Hannah was so concerned about fake safety labels on potentially
0:38:16 > 0:38:21dangerous car seats that she decided to dig a little deeper.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25People look for these labels and if the car seat isn't approved
0:38:25 > 0:38:29then unfortunately, you know, you're dicing with death literally.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32She took to the Internet to see whether we might be able to
0:38:32 > 0:38:36buy a fake and potentially dangerous car seat.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38It took her just seconds to find one.
0:38:40 > 0:38:46Portable child safety seat qualifies to the ECE standard regulation.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49The car seat claims to meet a strict European safety
0:38:49 > 0:38:55regulation known as ECE R44 but Hannah's not so sure.
0:38:57 > 0:38:58Birmingham Trading Standards
0:38:58 > 0:39:01and Fake Britain were so concerned about the safety
0:39:01 > 0:39:03claims on this car seat that we bought it
0:39:03 > 0:39:06and sent it for testing at the Transport Research Laboratory.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Hamish McPhillips from TRL's Child Safety Centre is
0:39:12 > 0:39:16an expert when it comes to testing the safety of children's products.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19And he's immediately spotted a problem with ours.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23A seat must be released by one single action.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25This is so that if you have an accident,
0:39:25 > 0:39:28you need to get the child out quick, you know, the car may be on fire.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31With this seat you can't actually do that.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35Even from a first quick inspection by eye, Hamish can tell
0:39:35 > 0:39:39there's something not quite right about this car seat's safety claims.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41The seat we have here has got the approval label
0:39:41 > 0:39:44on the instruction markings but from what we've seen
0:39:44 > 0:39:50of the seat just visually, it doesn't meet the requirement.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51Now it's crunch time.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55How will the car seat bought by Birmingham Trading Standards
0:39:55 > 0:39:58and Fake Britain fair in a crash test?
0:39:58 > 0:40:02A child-sized crash test dummy will be used to analyse
0:40:02 > 0:40:05whether the car seat would protect a child in an accident.
0:40:05 > 0:40:10This is the clay which we'll use to replicate the internal
0:40:10 > 0:40:16organs of the Child and look for any damage or intrusion into that clay.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20After the test we can take this out and see for any signs of injury.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26The test involves strapping the crash test dummy into the car seat
0:40:26 > 0:40:29and then accelerating the seat into a wall at 30 miles an hour
0:40:29 > 0:40:32to simulate a car crash.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37Tests like this can be dangerous so the area needs to be clear.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54The initial results are shocking.
0:40:57 > 0:41:02So...first reaction is we can see the belt's held quite heavily
0:41:02 > 0:41:05on the neck there so it could lead to strangling of the neck.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09And what's happened to the seat itself?
0:41:10 > 0:41:14The shoulder harness has cracked the polystyrene guide.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18Now we can remove here we can see part of the damage to the seat.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21The structure's actually broken here.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24It's quite shocking to see that failure.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27But the most devastating evidence is revealed
0:41:27 > 0:41:29when they check the dummy.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33So as we can see with the clay for this one we've seen a deep
0:41:33 > 0:41:36penetration of the clay there. It's been cut into.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40We'd be likely to see internal bruising or internal
0:41:40 > 0:41:46bleeding of the organs which we'd be really concerned about.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Hamish is so worried by the results of the test that he
0:41:49 > 0:41:53investigates further with a frame by frame analysis of the crash.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56You can see the lap belt here actually disappearing
0:41:56 > 0:41:59into the dummy's abdomen.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03We'd be likely to see really severe internal injuries
0:42:03 > 0:42:05to the child's organs.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Another concern is the diagonal belt we can see up here riding right
0:42:08 > 0:42:10next to the neck.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13It's very likely that there's some serious neck injuries.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17It's a miserable safety failure for the car seat we've bought.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21And there's no longer any doubt in Hamish's mind about the seat's
0:42:21 > 0:42:22safety credentials.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Looking at the instruction manual we can see the approval label on here.
0:42:30 > 0:42:35This would appear to be a fake claim that the seat's been approved.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37The results of the test, the breakages,
0:42:37 > 0:42:42the clay damage to the clay, we would not be able to give the seat
0:42:42 > 0:42:46this approval label if we were to test it here.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Birmingham Trading Standards are using the shocking results
0:42:51 > 0:42:54of our car collision test as evidence.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58The seller of the dangerous car seats has now been tracked down
0:42:58 > 0:43:01and investigations are ongoing.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10That's all from Fake Britain. Bye-bye.
