Avon and Somerset police have sent a huge thank you to the staff at the recycling centre in Midsomer Norton who showed such honesty and made a Burham-on-Sea couple's Christmas a little better than expected.

They contacted the police, who, using CCTV tracked down the family who had dropped off the box. After some investigations to ensure that it was all genuine, the couple who had visited the centre were re-united with one of their relatives savings. They had been clearing out the house and had thought it was stuff to throw away - but in amongst the things they didn't need - £15,000 in cash.
