The Green Bay Police Department is investigating the passing of counterfeit money.
On or around Feb. 20, businesses in the Green Bay area were victimized by the use of a counterfeit bill.
Employees of the businesses quickly realized the bill was not real and the situation to be suspicious and contacted police, which led to the questioning of the person attempting to pass one of these bills, according to Green Bay police Lt. Rick Belanger.
The investigation is ongoing. Belanger urges businesses to be vigilant using counterfeit pens and checking for water marks in the bill prior to accepting any large bill.
Belanger also warns individuals to be cautious of someone buying something of smaller value with a larger bill.
