The General Security agency arrested on Friday a Lebanese man wanted for forgery and human trafficking, the latest capture in a series of similar cases.

Aa.Sh. admitted to investigators that he is a member of a network that smuggles Syrians to and from Lebanon by handing them fake IDs and fictitious hotel bookings in exchange for sums of money, said a communique issued by General Security.

The suspect was referred to the judiciary as General Security continues to pursue his accomplices, it said.

The general-directorate of the agency warned Arabs and foreigners not to fall in the trap of such acts.

General Security has in the past months apprehended several individuals with ties to networks involved in human trafficking.

Last month, it announced the arrest of a Lebanese national accused of heading a group involved in such activities.
