Two British men were arrested at Athens International Airport after allegedly using fake credit cards to withdraw money from an ATM, Greek police said tonight.

The men, who were not identified by name, were arrested on Wednesday before they were due to board a flight to Bangkok, Thailand. They had withdrawn some €2,200 from an automated teller machine.

Police alleged the men were holding four forged British passports and apparently counterfeit credit cards with corresponding names.
