Police looking for owner of large sum of money found in Dartmouth

Halifax Regional Police are requesting public assistance in finding the owner of a large sum of money found at a Dartmouth thrift store on Monday.

Police responded to a call after a Dartmouth thrift store employee found several thousands dollars hidden inside a bundle of folded drapes. The money was in several sealed envelopes with information that indicates that the money would have been withdrawn in 2006 from a Guysborough County bank.

Officers contacted the bank, however, given the time since the withdrawal, it was not possible to obtain more information on the owner. It is believed that the drapes were donated in January 2015 in Nova Scotia, but it is impossible to determine where the donation was made because the thrift store accepts bulk donations.

The owner or anyone with information regarding the owner is asked to contact Halifax Regional Police at 902-490-5016. In order to claim the money, the person must be able to specify the amount of money and in what denominations, and the bank or bank account number.
