An alert has been raised by the Letterkenny Chamber over fake bank notes being used in the local area.
Two young girls were caught in a shop on Thursday night attempting to buy goods with Northern Irish Sterling notes.
However, an eagle-eyed shop assistant spotted that the £20 notes were fake. The girls fled the store as soon as the Manager was called.
Letterkenny’s Shop LK team have warned business owners to remind their staff to be vigilant about bank notes and take necessary steps to check all cash.
