Two Suspects Sought After Funny Money Spent in Tottenham
Clerk Grew Suspicious After Second Purchase
Police in Tottenham are looking for a man and woman after some funny money was spent at a local grocer’s. Right around 4:00 Sunday, two people allegedly went into the Tottenham Foodland and bought a prepaid Visa gift card with American $20 bills, coming back for a second gift card less than 15 minutes later. An employee got suspicious and took a closer look. The eight bills used were determined to be counterfeit, and police were called. The two took off before officers arrived, but are described as:
suspect 1:
- male
- non-white
- approx. 45-years-old
- dark-coloured goatee
- wearing dark coloured toque, dark coloured jacket
Suspect 2:
- female
- non-white
- approx. 65-years-old
- wearing winter toque, dark coloured fur-lined hood.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Nottawasaga OPP detachment at 1-888-310-1122, or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
