There are counterfeit Bermuda $50 notes which have been recently seized from various Island establishments.

Four such notes were recently seized from a St. George's business.

The Bermuda Police Service is aware of the fake bills and is reminding the public, especially those working in retail businesses and liquor licensed premises, to be vigilant for individuals attempting to pass counterfeit currency.

Genuine Bermuda notes can be distinguished from fake notes by looking for the 'tuna fish' watermark, the security strip or the 'silver ship'.

Anyone with any information about these incidents is encouraged to contact the Fraud Unit on 295- 0011.
