 Police in Idaho Falls are looking for two people who may be involved in using fake money. 

Police said a Hispanic woman made a purchase at Lowes in Idaho Falls using $400 cash on August 22.  

Three $100 bills and two $50 bills were later determined to be counterfeit. 

They said the bills were washed and other denominations were copied onto them.  The woman drove away in a white new model Chevy HHR, officers said.   

A black man later returned the items purchased by the woman and obtained a refund. 

Police said similar crimes have recently occurred in Pocatello and Salt Lake City.   

They ask anyone with information to contact the Idaho Falls Police Department at 529-1200 or Crime Stoppers at 522-1983.
