More counterfeit $100 notes surface

Porirua Police are keen to identify a young pink booted Caucasian woman possibly involved in passing counterfeit $100 notes.



Yesterday police advised two fake $100 notes were used at Pak N Save supermarket in Porirua on Sunday, 7 August, and a further transaction made on the same day at Woolworths in Coastlands, Paraparaumu.



Sergeant Brent Clark, Porirua Police, has now received reports of similar notes surfacing at Pak N Save Kilbirnie and Farmers department store in Palmerston North. These transactions also took place on Sunday.



"We're also aware of a series of transactions recently made in Christchurch," he says.
