COUNTERFEIT: On Aug. 27 officers were contacted to investigate a counterfeit and theft call. Officers were advised by loss prevention staff that the subject attempted to purchase a suitcase with fake $20 bills. After being unable to pay with the bills, the subject then attempted to use a credit card, which was declined. The subject then left with two friends, and loss prevention believed one of the other subjects put unpaid-for merchandise in a bag before leaving the store.

ADDITIONAL COUNTERFEIT: Officers were alerted to another counterfeit case on Aug. 27 when the store manager came across a fake $20 in the till. After confirming it was a fake, officers were called. The employee did not know who used the fake $20. It is unknown if both counterfeit cases are connected.
