The Dallas Township Police Department is investigating an incident involving counterfeit older-style $50 bills passed at a local business. Law enforcement agencies in Kidder Township and Allentown have reported similar activity, suggesting a broader regional pattern. We believe other businesses in the our area may have unknowingly accepted similar counterfeit bills.

Preliminary information identifies the suspects as four black males wearing black North Face–style clothing, traveling in a dark-colored SUV. Surveillance video and photographs from multiple jurisdictions are being reviewed in coordination with other law enforcement agencies.

The suspects primary targets have included fast-food restaurants and convenience type stores. Suspects have attempted to rush employees and speed through transactions to avoid closer inspection of the currency.

Anyone who believes they may have received a counterfeit $50 bill is asked to contact the Dallas Township Police Department or their local law enforcement agency immediately. Do not return the bill to the individual, and please preserve surveillance footage or transaction information for responding officers.

Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses. The Dallas Township Police Department appreciates the cooperation of local businesses and community members as we work to identify those responsible.
