FAKE £50 notes are being used to buy things from shops in Poole.
Around £600 of counterfeit banknotes are believed to have been exchanged at the Tesco superstore and petrol station in Poole Road.
Police have said two men bought multiple top-up cards and products from the Tesco shops using fake £50 Royal Bank of Scotland notes.
It is reported that the pair spoke with Eastern European accents.
The banknotes have now been seized by police officers.
Officers investigating the case have released CCTV images of the men they want to identify following the incident at around 7pm on Monday, November 27.
Police community support investigator Lindy Wilson, of Dorset Police, said: “Our investigation into this matter remains ongoing as we explore all lines of enquiry to identify the two men involved.
“We have now obtained CCTV images of the two men we would like to speak to as part of our enquiries, and I would urge anyone who recognises them to come forward.”
