Counterfeit bills may have passed though Pocomoke

(Feb. 16, 2017) The Worcester County Bureau of Investigations is looking into two suspected fake $100 bills passed within Pocomoke City that might be connected to earlier instances of counterfeit currency in the area.
Lt. Ed Schreier said this case might be connected to two others, but declined to comment specifically, as the investigation is ongoing.
Last Wednesday, the Pocomoke City Police Department issued a warning via its Facebook page that two fake $100 bills were reported within its jurisdiction. According to Chief William Harden, the investigation has been turned over to CBI, which now has authority over it.
Police announced they are looking for a black male in his mid-20s, with dreadlock-styled hair.
The Pocomoke Police ask anyone who believes they might have encountered fake currency, or has any information related to this or other instances of counterfeit bills to call 410-957-1600.
