Counterfeit $20 bills with the same serial numbers began surfacing at local businesses over a four-week period. Police reviewed security video and identified the students.

Two of the students are charged with passing forged bills, possession of forgery equipment and theft by deception. The others are charged with theft by deception.

Police say all were charged as juveniles and released to their parents. Their names have not been released because they are minors.
