Crime Report: Fake Bills and Fake Gun

Suspicious suspects lead to funny money

An officer responded to a call at about 9 p.m. that two people were looking into vehicles in the parking lot of Target at the South Bay Galleria Jan. 29. The officer found the subjects and was interviewing them when a woman exited Target and joined the suspects, the police said. The officer immediately included her in the investigation and found her to be on parole, in possession of narcotics as well as counterfeit twenty-, five- and one-dollar bills, totaling nearly a thousand dollars, the police said. She was arrested, and the secret service was notified, the police said.

Bloody man with gun was an acting

Police and firefighters responded to a call at about 4:30 p.m. that a man with a gun was bleeding from his head in the 2500 block of Blossom Lane Jan. 30. Firefighters waited while officers approached the house and found the man with the bloody head inside. Officers believed the man was armed, so they handcuffed and detained the suspect with incident, the police said. The police then learned that the man was producing a film for a school project, the blood was make-up and the weapon was a toy, the police said.
