Fake Cash: Lethbridge Police cautioning about counterfeit money

Lethbridge Police investigating more than a dozen recent incidents of counterfeit money being passed in the city.

Officers say there has been an increase in the circulation of fake Canadian $100 bills since July.

The reproductions have typically been poor and many include the holographic strip from the lower denominations, like $5.00, in place of the proper $100 strip.
