GLENDALE, Calif. — Glendale police have arrested two Long Beach women suspected of using counterfeit money at multiple In-N-Out Burger locations across Los Angeles and Orange counties.
Authorities said Auriona Lewis, 24, and Tatiyanna Foster, 26, were identified through restaurant surveillance footage and other investigative efforts. The pair allegedly targeted an In-N-Out in Glendale on Oct. 25.
On Oct. 30, Glendale police, with assistance from K9 officers and a U.S. Marshals Task Force, apprehended Lewis in Palmdale. Officers recovered counterfeit bills matching those used in the Glendale incident, as well as gift cards and transaction receipts connected to similar alleged fraud.
Foster surrendered to police on Dec. 15 at the Glendale Police Department.
Lewis was charged in November with felony counterfeiting and grand theft and pleaded not guilty. She is scheduled to appear in Pasadena court on Jan. 20 for a hearing to determine if sufficient evidence exists for trial. She is no longer in custody.
Charges have not yet been filed against Foster, who remains jailed without bail due to a potential probation violation stemming from a prior burglary case.
