Two arrested in Limavady following reports of counterfeit currency

Police are encouraging both traders and the public to be on their guard against counterfeit notes.
There are a number of things to look out for, including; does the main printing feel raised, can you see a bold and clear watermark when the note is held up to the light, is the print clear, sharp and well defined?
Comparing a suspicious note against one which is known to be genuine is also a good way to check.
Counterfeit notes are damaging for local businesses so police have urged the public to report any incidents to them straightaway.
