Sheriff’s Office Looking for Suspect in Connection with Counterfeit Money and Possession of a Forged Instrument

May 24, 2017 - 2:58am

On Friday, May 12, 2017, at approximately 5:32 PM, a suspect entered the Kwik Way Convenience Store located at 6910 Palmer Park Blvd. The suspect purchased items with a $100 bill.  The cashier checked the bill for a watermark and security strip and it appeared legitimate, however it was later determined to be counterfeit. The serial number on the bill was LK95475799A. The associated vehicle in this case was a black two door hatchback, unknown make.

In a connected incident on May 17, 2017, at approximately 2:47 PM, a suspect entered the 7 Eleven located at 5 Widefield Blvd. The suspect handed the cashier a $100 bill that was immediately identified as feeling counterfeit and did not pass the UV light test. The bill had the same serial number as the bill used in the incident at the Kwik Way.

Surveillance photos are attached to this Media Release.  If anyone has information as to the identity of the suspect or may know of his whereabouts, please contact Deputy Jessica Brooke via email address [email protected] or call the Sheriff’s Office Dispatch Center at 719-390-5555.
