Three men were arrested in Pretoria on Tuesday on charges of possession of counterfeit money and printing fake banknotes.
The undercover unit from Lyttelton police station was operating in a shopping centre when they noticed a man behaving suspiciously at the ATMs. He was searched and in his bag the team discovered a large amount of counterfeit money, with blank papers in between.
The suspect led the police to a house where more fake notes were discovered, with a machine used to print fake rand and US dollar notes.
Two men at the house were also arrested. The trio will appear in court soon.
