HEADLAND, AL (WSFA) - Headland police are alerting the public of thieves using counterfeit bills in the Wiregrass. They're seeking help from the community to identify and locate the suspects.
Counterfeit bills were reported at the Citgo gas station and Dollar General, located on Highway 431. Police don't believe the incidents are connected. One suspect was caught on surveillance cameras inside of the convenience store and outside, leaving in a vehicle. Headland police investigator, Jason Myers said the suspect tried to use a counterfeit $100 bill to buy candy at the gas station.
"The cashier noticed it didn't quite look right. The suspect ended up taking the money back from the cashier, walked out of the store and in the process the cashier thought about it called the suspect back in the door. The suspect walks back into the door gives the cashier the money and walks off," Myers said.
The other suspect is described as a young male. He's accused of trying to buy diapers and wipes at the dollar general with a fake $100 bill.
"She ended up taking the $100 bill, figured out it wasn't real. When she questioned the suspect he took off out the door," Myers said.
