Counterfeit Sweethearts: Washington Teens’ $600 Candy Heist

In a bizarre case of sweet-toothed deceit, an 18-year-old unemployed grocery clerk and his 17-year-old pregnant wife were arrested in Albany, New York, for passing counterfeit $10 bills, worth an estimated $600, at local candy shops. The couple, William H. Zoerndt and his wife Helen, had been operating their counterfeiting scheme for months, targeting small candy shops in 12 cities across the region.
