The Ocean City Police Department is seeking information that could help track down a counterfeiter passing fake $50 bills to merchants on the Ocean City Boardwalk.
Police received three reports of a man attempting to use counterfeit bills between 1:45 p.m. and 3:19 p.m. on Monday (July 7). The first incident occurred on the 1000 block of the boardwalk (between 10th and 11th streets) and the other two on the 600 block (between Sixth and Seventh streets).
Police were able to issue an immediate warning to boardwalk and downtown merchants after receiving the initial reports, according to Ocean City Police Capt. Steve Ang.
Police have released images of a “person of interest” who was photographed in the vicinity of all three incidents and who fits the description provided by merchants.
Anybody who recognizes the person in the photo should call Ocean City police at 609-399-9111. Any merchant who suspects receiving counterfeit money should call the same number.
