NEW YORK, NY -  Law enforcement authorities say two Department of Motor Vehicles employees earned more than $1 million issuing identification cards with stolen identities to convicted felons, including a sex offender.

Authorities announced the arrest of the employees and four others on Tuesday. In all, they say, 22 people are charged, including 15 alleged customers of the ring.

Federal, state and local law enforcement officials said the ring did not care who received the state driver's licenses and other identification documents. They say one recipient was on the television show "America's Most Wanted."

An undercover officer investigating the ring got an ID after claiming to be on the U.S. government no-fly list and desiring to fly to Pakistan.
