Six people in southern Minnesota were arrested Tuesday for making counterfeit money, selling more than $30,000 of counterfeit $100 bills to undercover officers, and for methamphetamine sales and use.

Albert Leans Travis and Heather Cameron were arrested Tuesday for counterfeiting currency, fifth-degree meth possession and fifth-degree possession of a schedule two narcotic. A 14-year-old girl from Albert Lea was also arrested for fourth-degree assault of an officer.

According to reports, one woman and man were also arrested in Steele County, and one man was arrested in Rice County.

A Freeborn County Sheriff’s Office news release states the U.S. Secret Service, South Central Drug Investigation Unit, Rice County Drug Task Force agents and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension have been investigating the case since May.

Police said the Camerons were arrested after Heather Cameron reportedly arranged the sale of $5,000 worth of counterfeit money to an undercover agent.

When Travis Cameron showed up to meet the agent Tuesday, officers arrested him for counterfeiting money. At that time, he had $5,400 of counterfeited $100 bills.

Within minutes, other officers executed search warrants in Albert Lea, Owatonna and Faribault.

When a search was conducted at an apartment at 1908 Bridge Ave. in Albert Lea, police reportedly found Heather Cameron with her two 7-year-old children. During the search, officers found equipment involved in manufacturing money, about one gram of meth and several meth paraphernalia items.

The Camerons are slated to appear in Freeborn County District Court on Thursday.

Eleven agencies were involved in the case, including the Rice County Drug Task Force, the South Central Drug Task Force, the U.S. Secret Service, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the Rice County Sheriff’s Office, the Faribault Police Department, the Freeborn County Sheriff’s Office, the Albert Lea Police Department, the Steele County Sheriff’s Office, the Owatonna Police Department and the Austin Police Department.

Police Chief Brian Krueger said Austin detectives have been working with other agencies on the case, but he would not comment on whether the case is related to a string of counterfeit bills showing up in Mower County.
