He would arrive at the doorstep then flash the silver badge at them and announce that there was an investigation concerning an infection with HIV which would lead to a lot of trouble for the prostitute, making it impossible for her to work for several months. He then suggested that he could be persuaded to keep a secret if the woman had sex with him. If the woman still resisted, he threatened to make the nature of her work public. The badge he used was a plastic toy of the kind readily available from any toy shop and even had the word ‘Police’ written on it in English, not Polish. But most of his victims didn’t look closely enough at the flashing badge in a black wallet. So far police have found eight women who were cheated in this way, but they do not exclude the possibility that further cases will be found. The man, who lives in Gostynin and works in Plock, and is in a steady relationship, was taken completely by surprise. He was even carrying the fake plastic police badge when arrested by Plock officers. The man faces up to ten years in prison. Criminal label Police from Minsk Mazowiecki arrested the owner of a private printing works this Wednesday for producing labels for faked products. On entering the printing house police found large quantities of the fake labelling still hot off the press. Labels covered a wide range of goods, including high end alcohols, fizzy drinks, cigarettes, crisps and soap powders. Janusz L., the owner, spent the night in police cells. Police investigations are continuing and the man faces up to five years in prison for copyright infringements. In a related incident, police in Olsztyn (Warminsko-Mazurskie) arrested the owners of a fake Coca-Cola manufacturing operation and police in Bialystok (Podlaskie) stopped two HGVs full of the falsified fizzy drink. Stadium sappers Sappers were called in this week to remove a UXB from the construction site of the National Stadium. The shell, a remnant of World War II, with a diameter of 80cm, was uncovered by a JCB working on the site. The removal was fast and uneventful with minimal interference to the ongoing work.
