Suspicious circumstances

We have had a number of incidents of counterfeit notes being passed in Stroud town centre.  The notes have a fake security seal on the left hand side  which peels off and “prop money” is written underneath.  The notes feel different to a normal note with more of a plastic feel.

Please be vigilant with checking your notes - there is more information here on checking your notes - How to check your banknotes | Bank of England

If you have any further information about these notes, we’d like to hear from you. Please contact Stroud town PCSO Payne at richard.payne@gloucestershire.police.uk
