Police Blotter: Counterfeit $100 Bills, Arrests at Dance

The following incidents were listed among the official reports of the Lake Forest Police Department. Readers are reminded that an arrest does not constitute a finding of guilt. Only a court of law can make that determination.

LAKE FOREST

Counterfeit $100 bill

Police responded to a report on March 12 of a counterfeit $100 bill that was used to purchase a photo frame on the 200 block of Westminster. The victim was suspicious of the bill’s look and texture and called police. The Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Chamber of Commerce was contacted by another store merchant who also received a counterfeit $100 bill, which prompted the Chamber to send out an alert to all the Chamber members. According to the police report, the suspect was a white male, heavy build, with grey hair, approximately late 50s or early 60s.
