**COUNTERFEIT MONEY ALERT**
The Naugatuck PD is advising business and the public to be alert
towards numerous complaints of counterfeit cash being distributed at
business across Naugatuck.
A great deal of the counterfeit
complaints have been in the $20 denomination however we have had reports
of other dollar amounts being passed as well, including an incident
that occurred on 2/21/18 at Stop & Shop (See following release
regarding the details of that incident).
NPD asks all business to utilize counterfeit detecting pens or other
devices that will help determine that bills are legitimate.
If
anyone has information regarding counterfeit crimes they are asked to
contact the Naugatuck PD at 203-729-5221 or the NPD Confidential Tip
Line at 203-720-1010.
