100 Mile House RCMP roll up the rim a little further on Tim Horton’s fake money case

100 MILE HOUSE, B.C. — RCMP in 100 Mile House say there have been some developments in the case of counterfeit American bills being used in local stores.

After releasing information about a man using counterfeit bills at the local Tim Horton’s earlier this week, the man came forward to RCMP Thursday (Oct. 15).

Mounties say they knew who the man was all along, but put his identity out in order to generate more tips and information about the incident.

That happened, and now RCMP are looking for another individual.

The woman pictured above is suspected of using a counterfeit U.S. $50 bill at the FreshCo grocery store over the holiday weekend.
