POLICE are raising awareness about the use of fake identification by teenagers.
It comes following an apparent rise of 'rogue documentation' from youngsters across north east Wales.
Last year, Wrexham Council revealed they had seized 84 fake documents in February and March alone.
Now police are warning those who try their luck that they face prosecution if found to have fake IDs.

A spokesperson for North Wales Police said: "There has been a rise in the use of rogue documentation where youngsters under age are attempting to use them to gain entry into pubs and clubs.
"Only a valid passport, photo driving licence and a Proof of Age Standard Scheme Card will be accepted as proof of age and identity.
"It is an offence to enter licensed premises with fake ID that includes false information, or possessing ID that belongs to another person.
"Anyone caught using fake or someone else’s form of ID can be prosecuted."
