(Slippery Rock Twp., Pa.) Pa State Police in New Castle are reporting that they were called to the Dollar General on Route 422 in Slippery Rock Twp. last Friday, May 24, 2022, at 12;40 PM for a report of a counterfeit $100 Bill being used to purchase items.
Upon investigating it was learned that on Thursday May 23, 2022 at 7:31 PM a White male did purchase several items with a counter $100 Bill. Troopers said the investigation is ongoing.
This comes after New Brighton Area Police sent out a warning via social media last Friday warning local and surrounding businesses to please keep an eye for fake money being passed. The post said to call New Brighton Area Police Department if you see someone trying to pass fake money as real.

If you look closely the serial numbers are the same and the bill says copy on the upper left front and back and also has lines through the 100 on the upper right hand corner.

Beaver County Radio News Correspondent Sandy Giordano is looking in the incident and will update us when she has more.
