Businesses and residents in Suffolk are being urged to be vigilant after two counterfeit notes were used in a Woodbridge shop today.
This afternoon, a man entered a shop in the Thoroughfare and used a £50 note - later found to be counterfeit - to make a small purchase. He was given change in return.
A second man then tried to make a purchase minutes later, however left empty-handed after the note was refused by staff.
One of the suspects is described as being a white man, 5foot 4inches tall with short brown hair. He was wearing a burgundy Puffa gilet and jeans and is reported as having possibly an Eastern European accent.
