Prankster throws £1,500 of fake £10 notes from shopping centre roof

Shoppers thought Christmas had come early when a man dubbed ‘Mr Nice’ started throwing £1,500 in cash from a shopping centre roof.

But Mr Nice turned out to be the Grinch in disguise when it was revealed the notes were fake.

The "Lady of Justice", a 12 foot high, gold leaf statue is pictured on top of the dome of the Central Criminal Court, commonly referred to as The Old Bailey in central London on August 21, 2016.nOver the centuries the building has been periodically remodelled and rebuilt. The present building, though extensively rebuilt after being damaged by bombing in WWII, is that which was designed in the neo-Baroque style by Edward William Mountford and opened by King Edward VII in 1907.

The prankster, whose identity has not been revealed, shouted ‘Merry Christmas everybody’ before throwing the £10 notes from a roof in Ashford, Kent.

But the cameraman, who is a close friend of Mr Nice, said he had no idea the notes were fake at the time of filming.

‘He showed me the cash before he did it but he must have switched it.
