PUEBLO, COLO. -- Pueblo Crime Stoppers is asking for help finding a woman who used counterfeit money at a Pueblo business earlier this month.
According to police, a female drove to the 7-11 store, located in the 800 block of East Fourth Street, on March 4th in a silver Honda sedan with a sunroof. She then purchased lottery tickets and paid with a counterfeit $20 bill, police said.
