Counterfeit dollars on the move. Police chased fraudsters from Łódź to Warsaw
The entire incident took place on February 19, 2025, and the perpetrators now face up to 10 years in prison.
The incident occurred when two men tried to exchange a 100-dollar note at one of Łódź's currency exchange offices. The employee at the institution, suspecting forgery, refused the transaction and notified the police. Information about the attempted fraud quickly reached the officers, who began actions aimed at arresting the perpetrators.
After receiving the report, the police determined that the men were moving along Strykowska Street towards the A2 motorway. In Warsaw, after a series of dangerous maneuvers on the road, the suspects were noticed by Łódź police. Despite the issued orders, the driver of the Mazda ignored the calls to stop, which led to damage to the vehicle and further pursuit.
Arrest and consequencesAfter a short foot chase, one of the men was detained. He turned out to be a 25-year-old Georgian citizen. The second suspect was detained the next day at a Warsaw hostel. The third companion, also a Georgian citizen, was detained at the same location. All three were charged with fraud and introducing counterfeit banknotes into circulation, for which they face up to 10 years in prison.
