(Rolling Prairie, IN) - La Porte County Police are trying to determine who passed ten counterfeit $100 bills at a chain store.

 

About a week ago, officers were called to a Dollar General in Rolling Prairie where what looked like $100 bills were used at the store to place $1,000 in currency on two cash apps.

 

The next day, the store manager was informed by the bank that received the deposit from the store that the bills were counterfeit.

 

Police said it appears they were actually faded $1 bills stamped with new ink to resemble $100 bills.  That could be the reason they apparently were not detected by a counterfeit bill marker used by the deceived store clerk.

 

Both men were reportedly described as being about 25 years old and black, with one wearing a green Adidas track shirt and the other dressed in all black.
