Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — Niagara County Sheriff's deputies were called to a Transit Road business Saturday morning for a report of a counterfeit bill.
The manager of Burger King, 5720 S. Transit Road told patrol that at about 10:15 a.m. an unknown suspect attempted to purchase a $1 cup of coffee with a $20 bill. The cashier at the time used a counterfeit bill detecting pen on the "strange looking" money and it tested positive for being fake.
The cashier refused to accept the bill, instead giving it back to the patron, who left.
Burger King staff was unable to get a description of the vehicle, but were able to show NCSO video of the attempted exchange.
The unknown suspect is described as a white male in his early 20s with short brown hair.
Patrol advised for future reference, that if anyone attempts to pass fake money, to get the suspect's personal information or vehicle information. Patrol also advised to attempt to confiscate any obvious counterfeit money.
