One man¡¯s honesty enabled Lyttelton Police to be the bearer of some very good news for someone this week.
While working in town at the weekend, the man found a wallet containing $1290 on the road and subsequently handed it in at Lyttelton Police Station.
Officers soon tracked down the wallet¡¯s rightful owner, who was both shocked and very grateful to get the money back. He hadn¡¯t reported its loss as he didn¡¯t expect to see it again.
¡°We often hear about the bad things that go on, but this man¡¯s compassion for the owner of the wallet is a good reminder that there are a lot of positives happening around us every day,¡± says Sergeant Dave Knowles.
¡°His honesty is to be commended and it¡¯s a great sign that community spirit is still alive and well in Lyttelton.¡±
