In Krasnoturansk, police officers detained a man who paid in a store with a “joke bank” bill. This was reported to the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the region.
The day before, the police duty station received a message from the cashier that an unknown person had paid in the store with a souvenir banknote in the face value of 5 thousand rubles. The bill was discovered during a count a few days after the settlement.
During operational search activities, law enforcement officers found and detained a previously convicted 54-year-old man. It turned out that he found a “jar of jokes” ticket on the street and went to the store with it.
