Counterfeit Money
Lloydminster RCMP have charged two people in a counterfeit investigation. 31 year old Kevin Charles Ross Dewar and 26 year old Danielle Taylor Marie Greer, both of Grand Prairie, Alberta, have been charged with uttering counterfeit money and possession of property obtained by crime.

Police say the arrests are a great example of the support they receive in the community because several businesses recognized counterfeit money and the people involved and contact RCMP.
