Cops seize huge pile of counterfeit greenbacks

There have been intermittent reports of counterfeit greenbacks in circulation, but this week police in Orange Walk hit the jackpot. Hidden in an open lot on Cocoplum Street they found one hundred and sixty-two thousand dollars in fake U.S. hundred dollar bills. They also detained four people in connection with their ongoing investigation. Authorities caution the public to be careful when accepting large denomination bills, particularly at night.
