Roseville police are asking for the public's help in identifying two men who threatened a store clerk with knife when the clerk refused to accept a counterfeit $10 bill. Police also released a surveillance photo (see below) of the suspects.
The crime occurred at 1:58 a.m. March 14 in the 2000 block of Cirby Way.
After the suspects' attempt to pass the fake $10 bill, the first suspect "displayed a knife, swinging it and then pointed it at the clerk, said Dee Dee Gunther, Roseville Police Department spokeswoman.
The clerk returned the fake bill to the suspects who fled from the store on foot," Gunther said in a news release.
One suspect is described as a white male in his 30s, 5 feet10 inches tall and weighing 200 pounds. He has black hair and was wearing a red shirt with white lettering and blue jeans.
The second suspect is described as a Latino male, about 45 years old, 6 feet tall with a medium build. He has black hair and was wearing a blue sweatshirt, blue jeans and a blue ball cap.
