Fake bank notes

BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR FAKE BANK NOTES

We have recently been made aware of an increase in counterfeit bank notes in circulation 

The notes have been used to pay for fuel, fast food and used in supermarkets for groceries 

Mainly twenty pound notes are the ones being used

Some key things to look out for include;

Hologram image change - tilt the note from side to side check the words change between the value of the note and pounds

See through window - check the foil is gold on the front of £5 and £10 notes, gold and blue on the front of £20 and silver on the back of all notes

You can get more info from the Bank of England website on how to check bank notes
