MARATHON – As of Wednesday morning, the New York State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation at Homer is looking for the public’s assistance in identifying the two subjects.
On October 30, 2023, at approximately 1:16 p.m., two males entered the Dollar General on West Main Street in the village of Marathon and purchased a gift card worth $500. They paid for the gift card using five fraudulent $100 bills. The fake bills closely resembled real bills but were missing some security features. The men spent about three minutes inside the store before leaving in a dark colored sedan with what appeared to be a white license plate.
The males are described to both be dark skinned males. One was wearing torn blue jeans, a black belt a black sweatshirt and black shoes. He had short black hair and a black beard. The second male had longer black hair and was wearing a baseball cap with a black sweatshirt, black sweatpants and black and gold shoes.
Anyone with information is asked to contact New York State Police at (607)561-7400. Case 11691973.
As a reminder to employees at businesses, be vigilant and take a look at large bills carefully. Check large bills for security features and use a security pen if available. Counterfeit bills may feel a little different, the serial numbers may all be the same, not evenly spaced or not aligned perfectly in a row.
