Police in Cobourg, Ont., are investigating several incidents involving fake $100 Canadian bills.

The Cobourg Police Service says that over the last week, the counterfeit bills have been used at businesses in Cobourg’s north end.

“The $100 bills appear to be of poor quality, and those in possession of the bills may not be aware the money is fake,” police said Monday.
