CONCERNS have been raised following the use of counterfeit currency.
Sgt Neil Hughes of the South Flintshire policing team, said they had two incidents across Flintshire on January 2 which are both linked, where £50 notes have been tendered at two local pubs.
The suspect has tried to buy a cheap drink and tendered fake £50 notes.
He said the suspect is a male with a well spoken Irish accent and is seen leaving in a Mazda 4 vehicle.
The Sgt added: "Luckily the businesses were wise to the ruse and refused to accept the notes. Can I remind businesses to feel free to refuse large tender. If someone tries to buy something cheap with a large note it should ring alarm bells. Use ultraviolet pens and or scanners."
Anyone with information or concerns can contact police on 101 or email 93682@nthwales.pnn.police.uk ref 19100002754.
