SACRAMENTO, CA -- Cal Expo police arrested four people after they allegedly tried to pass counterfeit bills during this year's run of the State Fair.
The four people are accused of trying to buy products from vendors at Cal Expo by using fake 20 and 100 dollar bills, according to a State Fair news release. A fifth person, who's suspecting of passing counterfeit cash, has yet to be arrested.
Every year, vendors and State Fair workers receive information on identifying counterfeit money. "The literature and instructions that we received from the California Exposition Police Department have proven invaluable in our efforts to reduce loss revenue," said Lance Moyer of Butler Amusements, Inc.
Vendors are also on the lookout for phony admission and carnival ride tickets.
The 2010 State Fair wraps up on Sunday, August 1.
