A MOTHER-OF-ONE narrowly escaped jail after admitting trying to pass off fake £20 notes in Brentford, writes Robert Cumber.

Danielle Eales bought a toothbrush at Butts dental practice on September 24 using the counterfeit cash and then attempted to exchange another note for two £10 notes at Watermans art centre on October 10.

The 30-year-old, of Green Dragon Lane, Brentford, admitted two charges of passing fake notes when she appeared at Feltham Magistrates Court last Friday (January 15).

She received a suspended four-month prison sentence for each count and was also given a three-month curfew order.
