Nutley NJ Police Search for Woman Accused of Using Counterfeit Money to Buy Gift Cards

Nutley NJ Theft by Deception SuspectPolice in Nutley NJ are searching for a woman who allegedly used counterfeit bills to purchase $900 worth of gift cards from a local store.

According to authorities, a 51-year old Newark NJ woman bought the gift cards from a store on Franklin Avenue in Nutley, New Jersey.

The suspect reportedly purchased a total of nine gift cards valued at $900. She allegedly used nine different $100 bills to make the purchase.
