Police warn of counterfeit bills

Three Rivers Police Chief Tom Bringman wishes to inform local businesses about numerous, recent reports of counterfeit bills attempting to be used for payment.
Bringman in a department media release said the issue has become prevalent over the past few weeks, during which retail employees have refused what appeared to be fake $100 and $20 bills. Still, Bringman reminded that bills of any denomination should be scrutinized.
He said any business that has received what appears to be a fake bill should keep it and contact authorities. He asked that employees attempt to establish a valid physical description of the person believed responsible for producing the counterfeit note.
Video surveillance should also be retained, he added.
