Red Deer RCMP are looking for public assistance to identify a suspect believed to have used counterfeit cash in the area.
The suspect is believed to have passed counterfeit US $50 bills several times over the past few days. The suspect has been seen at a local grocery store on three different occasions between February 21 and 22.
The counterfeit currency seems to be colour photocopies on good quality paper. The serial numbers on multiple bills are MG56216684A and MG56922425A.
RCMP encourage diligence in scrutinizing bills before accepting them and to educate themselves on the various security features on Canadian and American bills by visiting the Bank of Canada website and the U.S. Currency Education Program website.
