Moranbah Man Charged Over Counterfeit Cash Spree
Police have charged a Moranbah man after a spate of counterfeit cash incidents left several businesses across the Mackay and Moranbah regions out of pocket earlier this month.
Detectives from the Moranbah Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) allege the 33-year-old man used fake currency at multiple locations between October 5 and 6, resulting in a combined loss of approximately $700 in cash and goods.
Moranbah CIB Detective Sergeant Sheldon Livingstone said counterfeit notes can look real at quick glance and are often tricky to detect.
“We urge community members and shop owners to be vigilant when handling currency,” said Detective Sergeant Livingstone
“Our investigators were able to act quickly following immediate reports from local businesses.”
“If you suspect you have received counterfeit currency, we urge you to report the matter immediately to police, and try to note any relevant information about how it came into your possession.”
The 33-year-old has been charged with seven counts each of possessing counterfeit, utter counterfeit, and fraud. He is due to appear before the Moranbah Magistrates Court on November 13.
Police investigations into the incident remain ongoing.
