Warrant Issued For Man Accused Of Using Counterfeit Cash, Fleeing From Police
An arrest warrant has been issued for a 27-year-old man who allegedly used counterfeit cash to make $700 in fraudulent purchases at local stores and then fled from police officers.
Police say that on May 11th, 2025, a male suspect entered a department store in the 7100 block of Tecumseh Road East and used counterfeit $100 bills to purchase multiple items. The following day, the same individual attempted to use counterfeit money to pay for merchandise at a business in the 400 block of Sandwich Street South in Amherstburg. However, a store employee discovered the bills were fake and confronted the suspect, who fled to a nearby black Mercedes and left the scene.
