Fake notes discovery

POLICE are pleading for information that will assist them with investigations into the five recent discoveries of fake notes within the Central, Southern and Eastern divisions during the past week. Police spokeswoman Ana Naisoro confirmed the first report was received at the Totogo Police Station in Suva where a 60-year-old shop owner received a fake $50 note from an unknown person with the serial number FFC9413078. A second note with the same serial number was produced at a barbecue stall in Nakasi, and again a few days later at a supermarket in Raiwaqa, Suva. “The latest report was received on Monday at the Nasinu Police Station by a 37-year-old self-employed man who was depositing money into his account at a bank located in Nakasi when the teller discovered a fake $50 note with the serial number FFC4984851,” she said. Members of the public are urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 919 if they have any information.
