The Detectives are again investigating several complaints from businesses who have been receiving false/ counterfeit Euro bills. These false bills have been put into circulation by persons still unknown.
In the month of October 2015 this same situation happened whereby the culprits were paying for their goods with false/counterfeit Euro bills. The bills that are mainly used are the 50 Euro bills.
The entire community and mainly the business community should again be very alert when receiving Euro currency. Anyone who received any false or counterfeit bills should get in contact with the Detective Department. (See pic attached)
