Three brothers were sentenced to prison on Tuesday in a London court for creating counterfeit credit and debit cards, defrauding victims of more than £600,000 (US$978,000), according to the Metropolitan Police. The trio used the fake cards to withdraw large amounts of money from U.K. cash machines, buy designer clothing and aftershave as well as making purchases from 24-hour self-service petrol stations, the Met and City Police's Dedicated Cheque and Plastic Crime Unit said.
