Schumer today urged the Secret Service to step up its efforts to combat the uptick in counterfeit money circulating in the Watertown area. Schumer said that over the last four years, according to the Watertown Police Department, thousands of dollars in counterfeit money has been identified in Watertown area, which means it is likely there are thousands of dollars more in circulation that have gone undetected. Recently, multiple stores in the Watertown area have reported counterfeit transactions. Schumer said that fake bills are a serious problem for local shop owners, since they have little to no recourse for recouping the money they are owed. Schumer therefore urged the Secret Service to step up its efforts and work with local law enforcement to get to the bottom of the proliferation of fake currency and to supply the resources local retailers need to identify fake bills.</p>"}}
