A New Jersey man faces theft charges after allegedly using counterfeit money to pay for merchandise at Target.

Kareek Hakeen Andrew Dockery, 33, of Trenton, N.J., was arraigned Nov. 15 before Magisterial District Judge Fred B. Miller on a felony charge of forgery and two misdemeanor charges of theft. He was remanded to the Blair County Prison and released Saturday after posting $50,000 bail. His preliminary hearing is set for Nov. 30 before Magisterial District Judge Matthew Dunio.

According to court documents, a Target asset protection lead notified Allegheny Township police on Aug. 21 about a theft that occurred the day before. Police were told that the suspect(s) left the store in a white van with a New Jersey license plate. A review of video surveillance showed the suspect, later identified as Dockery, entering the store and going to the electronics department, where he made a cash purchase of $934.53. After he left, Target discovered the cash was counterfeit. The counterfeit currency included 15 $20 bills, all with the same serial number; seven $50 bills with the same serial number and six $50 bills that shared the same serial number.

According to Target, Dockery purchased a Bose sound bar, valued at $329.99; HP socks, $16.99; Hanes underwear, $19.99; Sensodyne, $12.49; Dove, $7.99; DMC, $7.99; Google Nest, $239.99; and a Google Nest, $249.

Target notified Walmart Loss Prevention about the incident and were contacted by Walmart about a similar incident at the Ebensburg Walmart. In that case, Cambria Township police arrested at least one of the suspects, who were in a white van with New Jersey tags.

Cambria Township police viewed a Target surveillance photo and positively identified the Blair County suspect as Dockery, the man they arrested in the Ebensburg Walmart case.

In addition, Cambria County police said the van contained merchandise suspected of coming from the Blair County Target.

On Aug. 29, Allegheny Township police received a search warrant for the van and recovered all of the merchandise purchased with counterfeit money at Target. Police also recovered the blue and white baseball cap and blue hoodie Dockery was wearing at the time of the Altoona incident, court documents state.

Target is requesting more than $65 in restitution to cover the amount of change Dockery received when he used the counterfeit money, the report states.

Charges have yet to be filed against Dockery in the Ebensburg case, according to online court documents.
