According to police, Cabrera was part of a group of men who used the counterfeit money to make nominal purchases at the Southmont Shopping Center in the township.

Cabrera and the other suspect had allegedly used 18 fake $100 bills at several stores at the mall including Best Buy, Pier 1 Imports, Barnes and Noble, Pets Supply Plus and Lowe's. Police said the suspects would use the fake $100s to purchase small items and receive real cash for change in return.

A total of $3,700 in counterfeit bills have been found.
The investigation is ongoing. The Bethlehem Township Police Department has contacted the U.S. Secret Service.
