Waitemata police on lookout for counterfeit money
Police are aware of a number of items that have been purchased with counterfeit $100 notes, predominantly in the west Auckland area, however, police believe the offending may be wider spread.
The counterfeit money which consists mainly of $100 denominations, has been used to purchase goods such as petrol, food and cigarettes from various retailers throughout Auckland.
“The majority of the offending has occurred in the Henderson, Titirangi, Te Atatu and Avondale areas, however we believe there may be more in counterfeit notes currently in circulation and we’re urging retailers to contact us if they believe they are in possession of these notes,” said Constable Brown.
“The notes are very poor quality and relatively easy to spot as counterfeit money, they do not have a clear panel and the paper they are printed on does not feel legitimate. On close inspection you can see they have roughly cut edges and black lines – it’s not too difficult for anyone to see they are not genuine."
If you have any information that could help our investigation, please contact Constable Rebecca Brown from Henderson Police on (09) 839 0694.
Alternatively, information can also be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111
