WRIGHTS CORNERS — The Niagara County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Bureau is looking into a case of fake U.S. currency that a male attemped to pass off at Tops Market, 3949 Lockport-Olcott Road.
According to the NCSO report, the man had tried to purchase items at the self check out station using the fake bill around 12:15 a.m. Aug. 14. After the self check out station refused the bill multiple times, the man asked for help from the store clerk.

A rule of thumb is you never carry more than one fake bill at a time. Read that years ago.
