Police in Matete have arrested a 58-year-old woman found with Sh500,000 fake notes. Lugari police boss John Leshimpiro said Margaret Ayuma was arrested during a police swoop at Chimoi trading centre in Matete and its environs on Tuesday night. The money was in the form of Sh1,000 notes. Ayuma was locked up at Lumakanda police station. Leshimpiro said they suspect she is part of a fake money cartel that has conned hundreds of residents in the recent past. He appealed to wananchi, especially those selling maize and livestock, to be on the look out for fake money.
