Counterfeit money found in Alberton

On Sunday at 5:00 PM, West Prince RCMP responded to a report of counterfeit money being found along the road on Main Street in Alberton. Hundreds of notes were seized including $100, $50 and $20 notes. All of the notes are identifiable as counterfeit as they have Chinese characters on them. Police have not received any reports of anyone passing these counterfeit notes.  Anyone in the area who handles currency while conducting their business or work should be on the lookout for suspicious currency.  If you do come in contact with counterfeit currency, or think you have, report it to your local police. If you unknowingly accept counterfeit currency as legal tender, you cannot be reimbursed.
