Fake P200 Notes Flood Thamaga Businesses

The police have warned members of the public to be on the lookout for counterfeit money after reports of false P200 banknotes being used in and around the village.

Thamaga police station commander, superintendent Moses Kwarare told The Monitor that the fake notes being used were quite distinctive. He said the counterfeit banknotes look genuine with serial numbers, but one can spot the difference, as it feels a bit rough to the touch. Kwarare said the first case was reported last November and similar cases have been coming up throughout 2018 ever since causing a serious concern.
