Police Board gets unexpected windfall

The Kenora Police Services board is a little richer today.

The board has been presented over 16 hundred dollars in found money.

OPP sergeant Kelly Fitzsimmons handed over the cash this week.

She says the money was collected over the past six years by the
former Kenora Police Service and either the owner was not found, or
the money was seized as part of a criminal investigation.

She says if there was no forfeiture order, the money has to by law
turned over the Police Board.

Chair of the board Colin Wasacase says the money will be put into
reserves for future use.
