Police are investigating a theft at a Dunkin’ in Montville where a man allegedly purported himself to be an employee of another store who was looking to break two large bills that turned out to be counterfeit.
The man allegedly entered the Dunkin’ with two $100 bills and said he needed to make change, according to the Montville Police Department.
He reportedly claimed to be employed at “another store” before he allegedly walked behind the counter and opened the register, exchanging the bills he had for smaller ones, police said. It was later discovered that the $100 bills the man left were counterfeit, according to police.
The police department shared photos of the man in a Facebook post on Sunday asking the public for help identifying him. In the post, police described the alleged thief as “creative.” An edit to the post indicated investigators were able to identify the man.
Police are still investigating. Anyone with information has been asked to contact the investigating officer at 860-848-7510 or vweyel@montvillepolice.org.
