Fake money led to very real trouble for a man who allegedly used counterfeit cash to buy cigarettes and was quickly arrested in Kampong Speu on Monday.

Police say the 28-year-old bought a pack of smokes with a faux $10 bill, but the wary seller saw the note was fake almost immediately.

Police managed to catch up to the suspect and brought him to the station, where he allegedly confessed.
