The Drumheller RCMP warns local businesses to be cognizant of American counterfeit bills this summer.
This comes after two individuals were arrested leaving the valley after it was alleged they passed a large sum of bills in just a couple short hours, and Drumheller is not the only community targeted by such a hit.
According to Staff Sergeant Art Hopkins, a ring has been discovered where similar counterfeit bills have turned up in communities including Lethbridge, Nanton, Claresholm, Fort Macleod, Red Cliff, and now Drumheller.
