On May 23, at approximately 7:32 p.m., two men and two women are seen on surveillance video entering Villari’s Lakeside Restaurant in Sicklerville. They ordered, and ate about $120 worth of food, police said.

A little over an hour later, surveillance video captured two of the suspects leaving through the front doors of the restaurant, and entering a silver or gray sedan.

A few moments later, video captured the other two suspects exiting the side door, running to the same vehicle, and quickly fleeing the area, police said.

They left behind six movie prop fake $20 bills as payment, according to police.

Surveillance footage shows one of the suspects wearing a white shirt, a black hat and glasses, holding what appears to be the counterfeit currency while entering Villari’s.

Police believe he may be a suspect in several other counterfeit incidents currently under investigation in South Jersey.

If you can identify the suspect or have any other pertinent information, please call the Gloucester Township Police Department at 856-228-4500. You may also leave an anonymous tip here.
