The Sturbridge Police Dept. is asking the public for help identifying a man suspected of using counterfeit bills at Walmart and Stop and Shop.
According to the police, on Sunday, Oct. 20, the male in the photo [above and below] entered Stop and Shop where he passed a $100 bill making a small purchase.
While distracting the store clerks, the man was able to ask for the $100 bill back and receive change for the $100 bill he had already gotten back.
The suspect then left the store and got in a red Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Anyone with information on the identity of the suspect can reach out to Sturbridge Police Officer Tom Giordano at (508) 347-2525 ext. 308.
In a similar situation, the Leicester Police are also seeking a suspect in a counterfeiting case.
According to the Leicester PD, the man in the photo above was at the Leicester Walmart on Tuesday, Oct. 22 and used 23 counterfeit $50 bills.
Police say he was at the Ware Walmart prior to going to Leicester and is believed to have possibly come out of New York City.
Anyone with information in this case is requested to contact Detective Matt Brady at [email protected] or (508) 892-7010 ext. 2017.
