Herts police has issued a warning after a Wheathampstead pub was scammed with fake cash.
Two males are thought to have been involved in passing fake King Charles £20 Bank of England bank notes to businesses in the district.
On Monday, March 3 2025, a white male approximately 50 years-old, wearing a navy blue polo shirt, navy baseball cap and silver frames glasses entered a Wheathampstead pub.
He was accompanied by a slim white male of around 20 years of age, with short black hair wearing a dark hoody.
Both ordered drinks separately. One a tonic water, the other a Coke. As they were low cost items, the bar staff gave change in the region of £18.
The males may be driving a silver hatchback.
Businesses are advised to check all banknotes particularly when a customer is buying a low value item, receiving a significant amount of change relative to the purchase price.
