Police inquiries revealed these three receipts were falsified, Ms Pearson said. One of the images of the receipts contained an address at the top stating makeareceipt.com.

Acting Magistrate Ron Muirhead told Dean anyone who forged a receipt was in serious trouble. If courts impose light penalties for that it gives out the wrong message, Mr Muirhead said. Other people … might think oh I can just forge a document, go to court and get a slap on the wrist - that won t happen.
