Five men arrested, accused of trying to use fake money in Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — A group of Lower Mainland men is accused of trying to use counterfeit US $100 bills in Kamloops on the weekend.
RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says police were alerted early Saturday morning to a man trying to pass a fake bill.
During the course of the day, seven other businesses reported men trying to use counterfeit American hundreds, including one that told police the suspect was getting into a taxi cab.
Officers intercepted the cab, and upon searching the five passengers, found a total of 16 counterfeit bills.
