Counterfeit Money Turns Up in Henderson

HENDERSON – Counterfeit money has been turning up in the Henderson area in large numbers. So far, authorities have recovered around $10,000 worth of fake $100 bills. Lieutenant Craig Sweeney with the Henderson Police Department tells KETK many of the fake bills came from a 79 year old man. He said he claimed he didn’t know the bills were counterfeit, which Sweeny says is possible since the elderly are often victims of such schemes. The Henderson Police Department and the U.S. Secret Service are investigating.
