Warning after stickers with fake QR codes found on some council parking machines in Lutterworth
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Harborough District Council (HDC) officers are in the process of removing them and will check other pay and display locations.
A spokesperson for HDC said: "Please do not scan a QR code on a Harborough District Council pay and display machine. We do not use QR codes at any of our car parks, so people using a council parking space should never expect to pay by this method.
