The Scotish Police has warned the general public and businesses to be alert as fake banknotes have been discovered in Inverness and Nairn in two separate cases within a short period of one week. Officials have stated that many such reports were made since early September and anyone who is caught doing it purposely will be punished.

The fake £50 notes look like they are printed by the Northern Irish First Trust Bank and feature the same serial number - AA294395. They were used to purchase low-cost items before the discovery. Further investigations have helped in tracing a man who was involved in this crime.
