Police are urging shops to beware of forged 拢20 notes being used in a Devon town.

One business in Paignton identified two fake notes handed over as payment in two separate incidents.

PC Simon Lee said: "Retailers are often busy and don't take so much time to check the legitimacy of notes."

Police said real 拢20 notes are slightly embossed at the top and if marked with money-marking pens the mark fades over several days.
