Prince George RCMP is urging local businesses to keep a close eye on the cash they are receiving in answer to reports of counterfeit currency - notably fake $50 US bills - being passed.
"Although it has yet to be confirmed, these incidents are similar to a string of reports throughout Saskatchewan, Alberta and the Southern Interior of B.C.," RCMP said.
"As such, retailers in Prince George and throughout the province should use extra caution when receiving American currency as payment."
