UNION CITY, MI (WTVB) – The Union City Police Department with assistance from the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department seized counterfeit money as well as goods purchased with the phony currency when a search warrant was executed on Eight Mile Road last Friday.
The action came after police took a handful of counterfeit money complaints from area businesses and a private seller.
Police say charges are pending in connection with the investigation.
Investigators say counterfeit money of all denominations have been passed.
They urge people to be on the lookout for counterfeit bills and to contact Union City Police at (517) 741-9191 if you suspect you have been given these bills.
These counterfeit bills lack the proper security features seen in higher denominations and are printed on regular paper.
Actual currency is printed on a special paper, not publicly available, and contains red and blue threads embedded in the paper. Markers can also be purchased to test for validity.
