PUBS and clubs across East Yorkshire are teaming up with Humberside Police to warn young people against using other people’s ID.
The move follows increased reports from licensed premises of young people using passports or driving licences belonging to older siblings or friends.
Insp Alex Weeks said: “We are working closely with licensed premises asking them to seize any fake or fraudulently used ID. The driving licences and passports that are often used will then be returned to the DVLA or the passport office. In the case of the passport the issuing office can and often does then refuse or delay in issuing a replacement given that the document has been returned under fraudulent circumstances.”
