Police seize over 150,000 fake train tickets

Chinese police confiscated 155,760 counterfeit train tickets during this year's Spring Festival traffic rush.

The tickets were seized during an investigation into train ticket crimes that began on Dec. 7 last year, in which the railway police uncovered 231 cases, according to a statement released Tuesday by the railway police authorities.

Many cases involved the online sale of fake tickets as customers were desperate to secure tickets after tickets through official channels had sold out.
