LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — Dona Ana County Sheriff's detectives say they've have uncovered a counterfeit money manufacturing ring and one suspect in the case is facing 104 counts of forgery. The investigation began last month after the manager of a Las Cruces pizza delivery company reported fake bills used in a transaction between a driver and a customer. Detectives traced the money back to a home where a search warrant uncovered several pieces of equipment that detectives suspect were used to manufacture all denominations of bills from $1 to $100. They say nearly $3,300 in counterfeit bills were seized from the house. Authorities say the fake bills possibly were passed at businesses in Las Cruces and Alamogordo.
