The teen immediately brought the money to the local police station, according to a press release from the Halton Regional Police Service.
Police said it was clear that the deposit envelopes were from a local business, so officers were able to contact a representative and return the money.MORE: Man finds $43,000 in couch he bought for $35 The Halton Regional Police Service didn't identify the teen or the business involved but said it"acknowledges this young woman and commends her for her honesty and integrity."
