Fake cash found in Lismore

Police are warning people in northern NSW to be on the lookout for counterfeit cash after a number of fake $20 notes were found in Lismore.

The phony notes were detected on Friday by staff working at a number of businesses in the city, including a kebab shop and a pub.

Police seized the fake bills, which totalled $240, for forensic examination.

Detectives have launched an investigation in a bid to identify those responsible for producing them.

Duty officer Robert Cairnduff said that even though the notes were of poor quality, people should keep an eye out for more dodgy cash.

“I would encourage everyone to be extra vigilant when handling their money and, if you do notice something odd or that doesn’t look quite right, please contact us immediately,” Inspector Cairnduff said in a statement.
