Police are warning people in Leeds to be vigilant after a number of reports of forged Scottish banknotes being used in the city.
Over the last few weeks, officers have received several calls reporting counterfeit £20 notes being used at various local businesses.
These include incidents where the notes have been used in the purchase of second-hand cars and also for smaller items in shops and restaurants. On some occasions businesses have been asked to change the notes for English ones.
Officers from neighbourhood policing teams are making local businesses aware of the issue and the incidents reported are being investigated to identify those responsible.
