The Jackson Police Department is investigating two cases where counterfeit $100 bills were passed at two local businesses. The first case happened on October 25th at a local camera store. The suspect entered the store, picked out a pair of photography gloves priced at $109.99 plus tax. The suspect paid with a fake $100.00 bill and a real $20.00 bill. The store had already taken the bill to their bank where it was discovered to counterfeit. The second case happened on November 11th at a local ski shop. The suspect entered the store, selected two neck-warmers from a nearby rack for purchase. The suspect used the fake $100.00 bill for the purchase and took the neck-warmers as well as the $53.36 in change from the transaction. The suspect is described in both cases as a white male, 5’10”-6’00” tall and weighing approximately 180 pounds. Both counterfeit bills passed are very similar in nature. Police are asking merchants to re-visit their cash handling procedures with their employees and to re-familiarize themselves with the security features of US Currency as well as the use of counterfeit detection markers when accepting large bills. Meanwhile, if anyone has any information concerning these crimes, they should call the investigations division at the Jackson Police Department at 733-2331.
