Gardaí have seized approximately €1,150 of suspected counterfeit currency following a search at a house in Tralee on the 24th October.
Gardaí from the Divisional Drugs Unit in Kerry, assisted by the Southern Region Dog Unit, carried out a search and discovered €1,150 in €10 notes hidden behind a picture frame at a house in Tralee.
No arrests have been made but Gardaí are following a definite line of enquiry.
Speaking at Tralee Garda Station today, Crime Prevention Officer Sgt Jim Foley said “In the run up to Christmas there will obviously be a lot more money being spent. I would ask that anyone taking in cash to carry out the necessary check on all bank notes, not matter what denomination they are in.”
