People in the Omagh area are urged to be vigilant following reports of counterfeit notes in circulation of the town.
According to the local PSNI, they've been contacted by several businesses who have received counterfeit currency by way of payment for goods.
A spokesperson said:
"Can I ask you all to advise those family and friends who work in shops, restaurants and bars etc. to be extra cautious and if in doubt, politely challenge the person passing the note and seek help from colleagues, UV scanners or counterfeit detection pens.
"A genuine person will not mind you trying to prevent crime - a wee scallywag will run for the hills!
"If the wee scallywag does do a runner, don't forget to get a good description of them, age, build, complexion, dress etc. and what way they went and by what means."
