Warning on fake bills

Margaret River Police have warned residents about counterfeit money doing the rounds in the region.

Using their popular Twitter feed this week, officers said residents should check $50 notes in particular.

“There has been an influx of fake $50 notes handed in to local business in the last week,” police said.
