Police are seeking two, 14-year-old juvenile males from Austin, one of whom matches the description of a local runaway, after they allegedly paid for a cab trip to Owatonna with fake bills.

According to Austin Police Chief Brian Krueger, a driver with AB Taxi and Shuttle Service called police at 1:36 a.m. on Wednesday to report that two individuals he had given a ride to Owatonna had paid with two fake $50 bills.

The driver reported he had picked the juveniles up at the McDonalds on West Oakland Avenue and they gave him the bills in advance. He dropped them off at a parking lot in Owatonna and noticed the bills were fake on the way back to Austin.

Police reviewed video footage from McDonalds that showed two juvenile males being picked up outside the restaurant. Police allegedly recognized one as a reported runaway.

The case has been forwarded to the School Resource Officer and Austin detectives.
