Oxford Police Say Woman May Be Connected To Counterfeit Cash

OXFORD, CT — Oxford police are asking for the public’s help to identify a woman they believe may be connected to a counterfeit $100 bill investigation tied to a Main Street grocery store.

The Oxford Police Department said investigators are seeking to identify a woman shown in a photo in connection with counterfeit bills recently used at Market 32 in Oxford. Police said the woman may have information that could assist with the active investigation.

The request for public assistance stems from a counterfeit currency case involving Market 32 at 140 Main St., where police previously said two counterfeit $100 bills were used during an incident that occurred Jan. 17 and was reported on Jan. 23.

Police have also confirmed a second counterfeit-related complaint within the past week, after an employee at Jersey Mike’s Subs in Oxford identified and refused a counterfeit $100 bill during an attempted transaction last Thursday night. No loss was reported in that case.

Investigators said the incidents are part of an ongoing investigation into counterfeit $100 bills circulating in Oxford. Businesses have been urged to carefully inspect large-denomination bills and to remain alert during cash transactions.

Anyone who recognizes the woman police are seeking, or who may have information related to the counterfeit bill investigation, is asked to contact the Oxford Police Department at 203-888-4353 and ask to speak with Officer Tom Daponte. Callers should reference Case No. 2600025921.
