Police Investigating Counterfeit Bills at CVS

Johnston Police are looking for a man who allegedly used 10 fake $100 bills to buy Visa gift cards at the Hartford Avenue CVS recently.

The bills did not raise any red flags at the store but a test by the United States Secret Service proved the bills are in fact fake, police said.

The incident occurred on May 25. A black man wearing a turquoise polo shirt walked into the store and paid for two $500 gift cards with five $100 bills for each one.

The suspect then walked out of the store, through the parking lot and did not appear to get into a car.

The bills were sent to two different banks and each couldn't confirm if the bills were fake our not, police said.

Police are reviewing store security footage and are attempting to track down the gift cards.
