Warning after Peterborough police seize forged bank notes

The fake currency had been used in a Stanground petrol station this week.

Police said they had taken more than £250 worth of notes - made up of 12 £20 notes and one £50 note, and issued a photograph of the forged £20 notes.

The fake notes had mistakes printed on them, including the words ‘Bank of England’ being printed upside down on the bottom of the note.

There have been no other reports of forged notes in the city.

Anyone with information, or who spots a fake note, is asked to contact police on 101.
