Bristol Police Log
BRISTOL — Bristol police, on Dec. 14, began an investigation into two counterfeit $20 bills recovered from a Bristol business. One bill had been passed on Dec. 13, the other about a week earlier.

Police advised the U.S. Secret Service. Additional victim businesses have been identified, with two more counterfeit $20s and a counterfeit $50 passed.
