Counterfeit money being passed in Newport...

Good morning Resident,

Please be aware that we have seen a number of incidents reported recently in the local area where businesses have reported being passed counterfeit money. The majority of cases appear to involve counterfeit £20 notes and often involve the purchase of gift vouchers/ gift cards from those businesses.

Please be mindful of this when accepting money from people. Further information and advice on how to spot counterfeit notes can be found here:
