On Friday, November 27, 2015 police were contacted by three separate Tim Horton's located in the City of Barrie in regards to incidents where counterfeit US currency was used.
Once reviewing the surveillance video at the three locations, police believe at least three black males are involved and one white female.
On Friday, November 6, 2015 at the Tim Horton's located inside the Georgian Mall located at 509 Bayfield Street, in the city of Barrie a male used a counterfeit US $100 bill to purchase a small amount of items, receiving legal Canadian money as change.

On Sunday, November 22, 2015 two males who appeared to be the same two males from the previous incidents, entered the Tim Horton's located at 304 Blake Street, in the city of Barrie.
This time a counterfeit $50 US bill was used.
The males were seen leaving the store after receiving their items and their legal Canadian change.
