Creighton RCMP are investigating after counterfeit Canadian currency was reportedly passed at a local business. 

On June 15, 2026, Creighton RCMP received a report of counterfeit $50 bills being used at a business in Creighton. The counterfeit bills seized by police all had the same serial number: AHU5885903.

Saskatchewan RCMP are advising the public to remain vigilant when handling cash transactions and to be familiar with common indicators of counterfeit bills, including:

- Counterfeit bills may have security elements that appear to be applied as stickers or overlays.

- They may feel different than real bills and may be easily damaged or ripped.

- They may differ in size, shape or colour.

- They may contain holographic images and numbers that do not match the bill denomination.

- They may have black line or bars on them.

Creighton RCMP continue to investigate.
