Hamilton police have charged two men after a high-end printer was stolen in November from Mohawk College that they say was being used to make fake IDs.

The caper happened when a man showed up on campus at 2 p.m. on a Monday, posing as a repairman for a "high-quality printer", police said.

Police found and seized the printer inside a home in January. Police said they found evidence that the printer was being used to make fake IDs, health cards, birth certificates, credit cards and counterfeit money.

Police charged two men with the theft of the printer, a 31-year-old man and a 27-year-old man from Hamilton.

Related to the fake-ID operation, they also laid several charges against a 33-year-old woman and a 29-year-old man from Hamilton.

They are still investigating.
