Police have warned businesses in North Wales to be vigilant after several incidents of passing counterfeit notes have occurred in the Gwynedd south area over the last 24 hours.
The individuals concerned have mostly attempted to pay for low value goods using fake Bank of Ireland £50 notes in Penrhyndeudraeth, Blaenau Ffestiniog and Porthmadog, but police believe the individuals involved may be travelling throughout North Wales.
The two men and a woman are travelling in a dark blue Ford Transit, and have Irish accents. One of the men has what is described as having an “Angel wing” tattoo on the left side of his neck.
Police have advised that anyone who is offered a Bank of Ireland £50 note to undertake the usual checks, and if any suspicious circumstances occur, please contact North Wales Police on 101 or via the live webchat.
Likewise, any sightings of the distinctive vehicle pictured which has Irish number plates should be reported immediately.
