The incident took place last weekend in one of the restaurants in Zgorzelec. A woman came to the establishment and paid with a 100-złoty banknote. The cashier found the banknote suspicious, so she went to check whether it was genuine. In the meantime, the 40-year-old woman from Zgorzelec left. (As it turned out, several hours earlier the 40-year-old had also paid with a counterfeit 100-złoty note.)
The woman was detained. Officers also apprehended the suspect’s 34-year-old acquaintance, who was likewise connected with the crime. What is more, at the time of his arrest he had an ecstasy tablet in his possession.
Both suspects could now face up to 10 years in prison.
