SEDALIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Sedalia police department is warning businesses of a counterfeit money scheme.

According to police, 19 businesses have reported suspects using fake $100 bills over the past week.

Only a few businesses were able to identify the bills as counterfeit because they are passing the marker test but the electronic devices are catching them.

Police are still looking for the suspects and are encouraging businesses to report any suspected illegal activity.
