RCMP in Selkirk, Man., are looking for a pair of suspects after they were called Tuesday about a man unsuccessfully trying to spend counterfeit cash at a local business.
Police said the man attempted to spend two $100 notes Tuesday afternoon, when the cashier noticed something suspicious about the money and called police. The suspect fled the store.
