North Western province Police Commanding Officer Fabian Katiba has warned people in the province to be on the look out for people with counterfeit money.
Mr. Katiba told ZANIS in an interview that Police in Solwezi were investigating fake K50,000 notes in circulation.
The warning follows an incident where a suspect swindled three people of K500,000 during the Kufukwila ceremony of Chief Mukumbi over the weekend.
Mr. Katiba said the conman swindled the three traders at night after buying some items with the fake notes .
The Police Chief pointed out that the traders only came to realize the following day when they discovered that they were given counterfeit money.
Mr. Katiba has since warned those that will be found wanting of severe punishment. He has appealed to all Solwezi residents to report any suspect involved in the printing of counterfeit money to the Police.
