A pensioner’s missing wallet containing €288 was returned to him after a Good Samaritan handed it in at the local police station.

Famagusta police spokesman Steve Theodoulou said on Friday that the wallet was found by a 43-year-old who gave it to the local authorities to handle.

The wallet contained the cash, and three photographs by which the 76-year-old Paralimni resident was recognised as the rightful owner.

The uplifting incident is similar to when two teenagers, aged 13 and 15, handed in a missing wallet containing €1,150 in cash – again in the Famagusta district.
