NORTHERN Constabulary can confirm that all suspected counterfeit notes from Stornoway, which were sent off for analysis, have now been verified as genuine notes.
Western Isles Area Inspector Robbie MacDonald said: “When local police were made aware that a quantity of notes were being refused by banks in the Western Isles, as they believed them to be counterfeit, we issued warnings to the public and requested any incidents were reported to ourselves at Northern Constabulary.
“A relatively small number of notes were handed in to us and we liaised with the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), who are able to authenticate currency. To date, all the notes we dealt with through SOCA have been found to be genuine and they will be returned to the complainers.
