Counterfeit Cash Trickling Around In Solon

Two separate incidents of fake money being used at Solon businesses occured in the last week, according to Solon Police.

Both incidents are under investigation.

On March 20, a woman called Solon Police to say that she was shopping at Mustard Seed Market at Uptown Solon and received change. She then tried to use a $20 bill she received at the grocery store at a gas station, where the clerk told her it was fake.

She called Mustard Seed and they agreed to take back the fake money and give her a real $20. The grocery store then gave the money to police.

On March 23, an employee of McDonald's on Aurora Road was getting the daily deposit ready and noticed a fake $20 bill. The bill was turned over to police.
