Israel Police at Ben-Gurion International Airport arrested a 63-year-old man who presented himself as a money changer. He offered travelers to exchange shekels to Bulgarian or Romanian currency at a reduced rate.

According to police, it appears the money he was selling for cheap was expired non-usable currency.

When police detectives arrived at the airport the suspect tried to make a run for it but he was apprehended and will be arraigned.
