Counterfeit bills hit Kamloops

Counterfeit US $100 bills have made their way to Kamloops.

RCMP are warning retailers and merchants of two incidents involving the fake bills that were passed.

On Dec. 15 a male entered the Salish Road Esso and made a purchase with a US $100 note, followed by a report on Dec. 16 where a male passed a US $100 bill at Boston Pizza in Sahali.

In both of these reports it was determined, after the fact, that the bill was counterfeit.

A similar description of the male from both businesses leads police to believe that it may be the same suspect. He is described as a first nations male, approximately 5’6” tall, heavy set.

Both of these instances remain under investigation in efforts to identify the suspect.

Merchants are asked to use caution when accepting notes and to utilize any counterfeit detecting tools they have.
