A man entered the Speedway store in Thoreau after 8 pm on Sept. 16, purchased several items, and paid for them with a $100 bill. Sometime after the man left, however, store clerks discovered the bill was counterfeit.
The McKinley County Sheriff’s Department is seeking the public’s assistance in locating and identifying the suspect caught on the store’s security footage.
Eyewitness reports describe the suspect as an Hispanic male, about 5’5” to 5’7” with a stocky build. He is possibly in his late 30s or early 40s, and he had tattoos on both arms.
The investigation is ongoing.
