Tilton woman charged in counterfeit money probe

By Staff | Feb 8, 2017

Police took a Tilton woman into custody in connection with what they called "a lengthy counterfeit money investigation."

Courtney Rich, 27, of 822 Laconia Road, faces one count each of forgery, a felony, and theft by deception, a misdemeanor, police said.

Officers arrested her at 4:45 p.m. Sunday at Nashua police headquarters.

Rich was booked and released on $5,000 cash bail pending arraignment, which police said is scheduled for March 9 at Nashua district court.

About a month ago, Hudson police announced they were warning local business owners that counterfeit bills had begun showing up around town. They said they received reports of fake bills from three businesses, including Rite Aid and Palmer’s Market on Lowell Road and the Nan King Restaurant on Central Street.

Police didn’t draw a direct connection between those incidents and the arrest of Rich on Monday.
