According to police, the ladies would enter the store and pay for a cheap item with an American $50 bill and then get back Canadian change.
“If they knew they could get away with it the first time they would return shortly and repeat the process. So far I have received ten counterfeit bills. The bills themselves feel and look pretty real but once you look closely you can notice some defects,” Const. Jordan Latham said.
In the case of Booster Juice, the duo purchased an item and then went into the bathroom to change clothes and wigs before buying another item, according to Latham.
