Vic pair charged over fake notes

Two men intercepted in a stolen car in southwestern Victoria have been found with counterfeit notes and printing equipment, police allege.

The pair were charged after officers stopped their car on the Western Highway at Dobie about 5.30am (AEDT) Wednesday.

The 25-year-old Blackburn man and 30-year-old Kings Meadows man were arrested and their car searched.

Police say they found counterfeit notes and printing equipment.

Both men have been charged with car theft, making and possessing counterfeit notes and possessing an instrument for making them.

They briefly appeared at the Horsham Magistrates Court on Wednesday and were remanded to reappear in April.
