It’s not uncommon to have safes come in for scrapping, however it is unusual for them to be filled with anything. As the safes got snipped open with a mobile shear, staff discovered about £20,000 in one of them. The others were empty. The £20,000 was made up of some legal tender and some old tender and was clearly in there for many years as it was dusty and wet from being in the rain. The notes were in bundles and there were coins in money bags.
Yard Manager Kevin Harrington says “we often get safes in and we tend to store them up as they are quite difficult to deal with. We had about 8 in at the time when we started snipping them. We’d snipped up 3 before we found the money. It had been in there a long while, the money was very dusty and we didn’t count it all but we guestimate that there was £20,000 in there but not all legal tender anymore which shows how long it had been left for”.
Sackers gave the money to the police who have been unable to track and identify the owner and no records are documented. The money is going to be donated to charity.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_single_image image=”2021″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1532880107818{margin-top: -20px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1532880107818{margin-top: -20px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text]Press Contact[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Helen Crapnell
