Police in Gloucester Township, New Jersey, are seeking help from the public to identify two men who, officials claim, attempted to use counterfeit cash to purchase pizza slices.

According to police, the men are sought after an incident that happened on Wednesday, July 3 at Gallery Pizza, located along Erial Road, when a man, dressed in a black sweatshirt, bought a slice of pizza with a counterfeit $20 and received $17.40 in change.

Moments later, another man, dressed in a white shirt, attempted to also purchase a slice of pizza with a $20 bill, but police said, he was refused once store employees realized his $20 -- and the other man's -- were both fake.

After the incident, police said, the men fled the scene in a light colored van.
