For several months now, this area has experienced a rash of counterfeit $10s and $20s showing up at area businesses. According to Lake Orion Police Chief Jerry Narsh, the $20s are the new version that came out late last year.
‘With the easy access to high quality printers and computers, even the best defenses are being defeated,? Narsh said. ‘To the naked eye the quality is good.
The village’s police department, the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department and the US Secret Service is currently conducting a joint investigation.
Narsh is advising area businesses to inspect the money they receive, check to see if there is a magnetic strip on the left hand side of the $20 bill and use validation pens.
‘These bills are also in the hands of victims who are unwittingly passing them on,? he added.
Anyone who thinks he may have one of these bills should immediately call local police and give them the money.
If anyone has any information on the printing or circulation of this counterfeit money, Narsh said to call him at 248-693-8321.Watch out for
