The DCI reports that the fake notes in $100 denominations were recovered from the Bank’s Safe Room.
The fake currency syndicate were arrested following an unconfirmed report that a customer had brought in a haul of fake money.
The counterfeit banknotes had been stored in a personal safety deposit box of a client.
