Police were called to investigate at the victims business where officers were able to quickly identify a suspect, thanks to the business’ surveillance equipment.
The 26 year old has been charged with using counterfeit money.
The accused is set to appear in court at a later date.
Businesses and members of the public are reminded of the following indicators of counterfeit money:
- The bills are thick paper not polymer

- In all examples the maple leaf on the left side is not translucent or a hologram.
