It is believed that these two subjects were using a newer model gray or silver Hyundai Tucson SUV, and one witness described a dent  located in the area of the front passenger side wheel well. 

The majority of the counterfeit bills involved in this case were serial number: FF92727388B, and there were two bills with serial number: HB86930870G.

February 15, 2019

On 2/15/19, the Freeport Police Department investigated two incidents where individuals passed counterfeit $100.00 bills (serial HB86930870G) at food establishments in Freeport. The first incident occurred at 4:26 PM. The suspect, a 5'4" tall black female with a thin build, pink hair and pink nails presented what was later to be determined as a "washed" $10.00 bill. The female ordered $9.06 worth of food, received change and left without claiming the food order. The female entered a maroon Dodge Caravan with Minnesota registration BEH977. It was later determined that this van was rented from Enterprise at 5950 N Western, Chicago.

The second incident occurred at 8:13 PM. This time, a white male with short dark hair and a thin beard entered with a heavy set white female who had her hair in a pony tail. The couple ordered $15.82 worth of food and received change. The $100.00 that was presented had the same serial number as the other bill. The couple received their change and food order and left (transportation unknown).
