(Undated-AP) -- The Oregon Liquor Control Commission and police have shut down two false ID manufacturing and sales operations in Portland and Coos Bay.

Officials say the computer-generated forgeries depicted licenses from Oklahoma, California, Nebraska, Iowa, Alaska, Nevada and Oregon.

Fake driver's licenses linked to the two groups were recovered in the Portland area, Eugene, Klamath Falls, Ashland and Coos Bay.

Clubs in downtown Portland seized fake licenses and inspectors issued 47 citations.

In the Coos Bay case, two 19-year-old Southwestern Oregon Community College students were recently arrested on campus.

Oregon authorities say customers paid $50 to $75 each for the fake identifications.
