COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Four people were arrested in connection with an alleged money counterfeiting operation on Friday.
The three-week investigation ended with four arrests on Hilton Avenue on the city's west side, NBC 4 reported.
Deputies from the Franklin County Sheriff's office found $5, $10, and $20 bills that had been spent at local stores, including Dollar General stores and Speedway gas stations.
Bobby Hunt, 22, and 18-year-old Kalen McCormick were charged with forgery.
Two women were also arrested, but it is unclear if any charges will be filed against them.
"They will be returned over to the feds, Secret Service and we are also looking for other victims that have these type of bills that are floating around. They need to contact the sheriff's office and let us know so we can confiscate these bills," said Zac Scott, of the Franklin County Sheriff's office.
It's believed that the bills were printed on a home computer.
The money will now be turned over to the Secret Service.
