Officers investigating a report of fraud and the use of counterfeit banknotes in Poole are releasing CCTV images of two men they would like to identify.
It is reported that at around 7pm on Monday 27 November 2023, two men purchased multiple top-up cards and products from the Tesco superstore and Tesco petrol station in Poole Road by exchanging fake £50 Royal Bank of Scotland banknotes to make the purchases.
It is reported that the two men spoke with Eastern European accents.
The total value of the counterfeit banknotes exchanged was £600 and these have now been seized by officers.
Police Community Support Investigator Lindy Wilson, of Dorset Police, said: “Our investigation into this matter remains ongoing as we explore all lines of enquiry to identify the two men involved.
“We have now obtained CCTV images of the two men we would like to speak to as part of our enquiries, and I would urge anyone who recognises them to come forward.”
