Leander Police Seek Man Connected To Counterfeit Money Case

LEANDER, TEXAS — Police seek help from the public in identifying a "person of interest" they say may be involved in the passing of counterfeit currency at a local retailer last last month.

To the end of identifying and locating the person, police released surveillance camera images of the man being sought. While police stopped short of calling the man a suspect, they said he could be involved in a Dec. 31 incident during which counterfeit money was used at a Walgreen's Pharmacy store on 905 W. Crystal Falls Parkway.

The man pictured is possibly Hispanic, police said, with short black or dark brown hair. The person being sought is estimated to be in his mid- to late 20s, and was last sen wearing black pants, a red T-shirt, black jacket with brown collar and red shoes.

Those recognizing the man are urged to call the Leander Police Department at (512) 528-2800 and ask to speak with "Officer Graham," police said on social media. The officer also can be emailed at rgraham@leandertx.com. Police ask tipsters to reference case number 182757. Further, they asked any potential tipsters to not identify the man pictured on social media to ensure the integrity of the police investigation.
