Pennsylvania State Police in Indiana County are alerting businesses of counterfeit $100 bills passed in the area on Sunday.
A police spokesperson says since about 3 p.m., troopers have been sent to four separate businesses on Oakland Avenue in White Township after the counterfeit bills were passed. The businesses troopers responded to were:
-
Advanced Auto Parts
-
Aroma Joes
-
AutoZone
-
Harbor Freight Tools
There were at least two other attempts to pass counterfeit $100 bills, also at Oakland Avenue businesses. One attempt happened at Dunham’s Sports and another at Kohl’s.
During each transaction, police say the suspect passed the counterfeit $100 bill for payment of a low-value item or items.
The suspect is described as a white, Hispanic man about 19-20 years of age with facial tattoos.
Anyone with information about the counterfeit bills should contact Troop A, Indiana, by calling 724-357-1960.
