FRANKSTON police last week arrested and charged a Parkdale woman with possessing and making $50 notes at her home.
Detective Sergeant Jason Hocking said police seized instruments and materials used to make the fake notes over a six-month period. He believes they were passed in the Frankston area.
The woman, 21, has been bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court in June.
“Traders should be vigilant when receiving $50 notes and forward any suspicious notes to police,” Det. Sgt Hocking said.
The federal indictable offence carries penalties of up to 14 years jail and $60,000 in fines.
