Surveillance camera images of suspects believed to be involved in passing counterfeit money at Corbin Wal Mart, and the vehicle they were driving.
Laurel County Sheriff’s deputies are working to determine whether the couple that allegedly passed six counterfeit $10 bills at the Corbin Walmart Sunday afternoon are suspects or victims.
Deputy Gilbert Acciardo, the department’s public affairs officer, said the man and woman have been identified. Acciardo declined to release their names, noting they are only considered persons of interest.
In the coming days, Deputy Larry Parrott will interview them to determine whether charges are warranted.
"Deputy Parrott said the counterfeits were very good so it is possible they unwittingly passed the bills," Acciardo said.
