Warning for Canterbury retailers about spate of fake banknotes
The Reserve Bank is warning Canterbury retailers to look out for fake banknotes after 50 counterfeits showed up in just two weeks.
Reserve Bank head of banking Steve Gordon said the 50 fake notes accepted by businesses in a fortnight was much higher than the usual two or three counterfeits a month.
"People need to check notes they receive over the counter using the look, feel, tilt technique," he said. Find out more here.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
