Nov 30, 2009, 0:28 GMT

Wellington - A 17-year-old high school student pleaded guilty Monday to forging 150 drivers' licences with false birth dates that gave underage drinkers access to bars and pubs. Marcus Lim, who was born in Cambodia, was alleged to have sold forged licences for 100 New Zealand dollars to youths ages 16 and 17 at 15 schools in the Auckland region. The minimum age to enter licensed premises in New Zealand is 18. Lim was remanded on bail for sentence on April 20. The court was told that police were not asking for a prison sentence. According to news reports, more than 60 students have turned in their fake licences to police, but many more have not been found.
