Local Businesses Cautioned Regarding Counterfeit U.S. Currency
14-33326, 14-34504
Detectives from the Fraud Unit are warning vendors and the public to be aware of and on the lookout for fake American $50 and $100 bills.
In Kingston, starting near the beginning of November 2014 there have been at least three occurrences where counterfeit U.S. currency has been used. Two instances occurred at food services locations at Queen’s University and the third at a downtown business on Princess Street. The fake bills from Queen’s were two American $50 bills and the one from downtown was one American $100 bill.
As Canadian currency is becoming more difficult to counterfeit criminals are attempting to use fake American bills to defraud local businesses, as vendors aren’t as familiar with what these bills should look and feel like. When in doubt local businesses can refuse to accept the denominations or are welcome to contact police to verify legitimacy.
Some indicators to determine if a bill is fake:
- Feel the texture, especially over the numbers which feel raised. The counterfeit bills all appear to be smooth or feel flat.
- The edges of the bills can be jagged or uneven.
- If held up to a light source the face of Ulysses S. Grant for $50 bills and Benjamin Franklin for $100 bills should appear on a watermark on the right side of the bill.
- The words “U.S. 50” or “U.S. 100” should appear in a line of text vertically to the right of the portrait for $50 bills and to the left of the portrait for $100 bills.
Additional information can be found on the websites of the United States Secret Service and “U.S. Currency – Know Your Money.”
Contact Kingston Police at 613-549-4660 if currency is believed to be counterfeit. If legitimate the bill will be returned to the complainant.

Police Interview of Break & Enter Accused Released to Educate Students
With winter break for post-secondary students approaching, and vacation holidays in the minds of others, Kingston Police is releasing an inside look into the viewpoint of a local offender who has experience in committing break and enters.
A redacted interview video has been uploaded to the Kingston Police YouTube channel which can be viewed here.
The accused, later convicted and past the 30 day appeal period, was arrested by General Crime detectives earlier in 2014 and interviewed about his actions relating to student houses. In the interview he states:
“They all leave their doors unlocked around there. All those students do. When they go to the bar, they’re drinking and they leave their doors unlocked. It’s an easy place to go in and get laptops and…go. Especially when I’m all strung out high and need money.”
From the experience of the detectives this is a common technique and attitude of many break and enter offenders. Some offenders are even known to brazenly walk-up to a residence and knock on the front door. If there is no answer they will attempt to gain entry. If someone does come to the door the suspect will give an excuse they were looking for a fictitious friend and mistakenly must have the wrong address. If you feel suspicious about a stranger’s actions call police after attempting to get physical and clothing descriptors and last known direction of travel.
Kingston Police recommend the following:
- Keep doors and windows locked at all times.
- Ensure every roommate has a key to gain entry when returning home.
- Have blinds or curtains drawn and don’t leave valuables in plain view to provide extra incentive to break-in.
- Take photographs and record serial numbers of any valuables in case they are stolen. Police cannot enter an item on the CPIC federal database without a serial number.
- Do not online advertise in advance or during a holiday vacation. Criminals have been known to search through social media sites to find addresses where the homeowners are away. Post about your travels once you return.
- Queen’s students can sign-up for the free “Holiday Housecheck” service offered at the end of November by the AMS Municipal Affairs Commission. Volunteers will check your residence twice a week during the winter break and make the house appear lived-in by picking up mail and packing down snow. For more information or to volunteer, if a Queen’s student, please go to www.myams.org.
