OTTAWA - A 56-year-old Ottawa man is facing counterfeit-related charges after sheets with Ontario's holographic design were found at Ottawa's airport.
Officers with the Canada Border Services Agency conducted a random search at the Ottawa Air Cargo Centre in mid-June and found illegal copies of Ontario's holographic design.
The holographs are used on Ontario driver's licences and health cards and can be used to create fake ID cards.
Border officials then intercepted another package on June 27 that contained more Ontario holographs and got a search warrant for an apartment in the Ottawa area.
Police seized several items from the apartment.
Tadeusz Lakomy has been charged with possessing the tools to forge credit cards and create counterfeit identification cards.
