YARRA Junction Police are keen to hear from the owner of cash handed in to the station recently.
Senior Constable Ray Cook described the amount as “substantial” and said it would have been lost within the last fortnight or so.
A check of banks and other police stations has failed to give a clue to the owner, so they are now calling on anyone who may have lost a sum of money in the Yarra Junction area, and can provide identifying information, to contact them on 5967 1104.
If the station is unattended, a name and contact number can be left for police to follow up.
Sen Const Cook said there were still a lot of honest people out there, including the person who came across this money and handed it in.
“We get lots of purses and wallets handed in with cash and cards still intact,” he said.
