NANAIMO — Local businesses are asked to be extra vigilant about fake cash making the rounds across Vancouver Island.
Nanaimo RCMP said they’ve handled numerous calls about a man using counterfeit $5, $10 and $50 bills, usually at gas stations to buy lottery tickets.
The suspect is 5’9”, roughly 40-years-old, approximately 190 pounds with receding brown hair. Police said he is often seen wearing black track pants, white shoes and a black jacket while driving an older grey Ford pick-up truck.
On May 3, Oceanside RCMP reported three recent incidents of someone trying to use fake $100 bills. A suspect description wasn’t mentioned in those cases and it’s unclear if they’re connected.
