The police officers went to the establishment, where employees handed them two 200-euro bills that appeared to be counterfeit, while also identifying the two individuals who allegedly attempted to pay with them.
Subsequent investigations revealed that the individuals were two 20-year-olds. Three additional 200-euro bills were found in their possession, which lacked the necessary security features.
