Boys reel in $100,000 on fishing trip

Australian police have appealed to the public for help in returning a large sum of cash found by two teenagers near their home in the north of the state earlier this month.

About 11am yesterday police were called to a business premises in Lismore where two teenage boys handed to police a large quantity of cash they had found.

The boys told police that earlier this month whilst fishing at Tuntable Creek they discovered the cash in various Australian denominations.

Their find was recently revealed to a carer and after seeking legal advice the cash was handed into police. Checks have revealed almost $100,000 was located and police have commenced inquires to try and locate the lawful owner.

Police have since conducted a search of the area where the two boys indicated they found the cash without result.

Lismore Police have appealed for anyone with a claim or information regarding the discovery of the money to contact them.
