JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Three men who tried to go on a shopping spree with counterfeit bills at several Jacksonville businesses succeeded at one store before getting turned away by another, according to police. Police reports suggest the trio stopped at the Publix on Roosevelt Boulevard shortly before 8 p.m. Wednesday with one of them trying to buy gift cards with seven counterfeit bills. A store clerk denied the transaction multiple times until a manager walked over and the customer left the store. A store manager for Winn-Dixie told police that she had received a phone call from a Publix manager warning her about customers trying to use the bogus cash, the report said. She said the other store’s manager had told her that something similar happened at a Target nearby, but those efforts were unsuccessful.
