Counterfeit Notes - Wirksworth Area

Hello All

In the last few days, it has been reported to us, that counterfeit notes are attempting/being used in shops around the Wirksworth area.  

Attached is and example of what a counterfeit note may look like -  the holographic spider in the top right corner does not move and when checked under a note/UV light not all of the symbols are there.

We are urging shops big or small to ensure they look out for the signs of this happening - for example most suspects using such notes will find the most cheapest item you sell to gain the most change in legal tender.

If you believe that you have been a victim of this then please call 101 (non emergency) or fill in an online contact form via https://www.derbyshire.police.uk
