Penticton RCMP are hoping to find the rightful owner of a wad of U.S. cash found in an item donated to a local thrift store.

Police were notified the money was found inside a laptop bag at the not-for-profit store Care Closet.

"The cash was likely donated unbeknownst to the donator, and they would likely want it returned. The store felt it appropriate to hand over the money to police,” says Cst. James Grandy.

“We’re asking the rightful owner to attend our detachment to claim the cash.”

The Penticton detachment is located at 1168 Main Street.
