Kenya: 3 arrested with $10 million in fake money
One Kenyan and two Chadians have been arrested in Kenya's capital, Nairobi after they were found with more than 1bn Kenya shillings ($9.9m; £7.6m) in fake dollar and euro notes in their possession, police say.
Detectives say they made the raid after a tip-off by members of the public.
Kenya's Directorate of Criminal Investigations has tweeted this photo of the stash officers discovered:
