West Vancouver police are hoping to reunite some probably badly missed items with their rightful owners — an envelope full of cash and a hockey bag full of equipment.
Police say an elderly woman came to the Whole Foods at Park Royal South on Aug. 1. While there, she left an envelope containing “a large sum” of money at the till. Police only describe the woman as being in her late 70s. The envelope was from a Toronto Dominion Bank branch, they say.
“All efforts to locate the female and return the money to her have been unsuccessful,” a release from West Vancouver police stated.
On Aug. 25, officers were called to the Hollyburn neighbourhood when a resident on the 1300-block of Haywood Avenue reported her car had been broken into. The vehicle had been left unlocked overnight and the owner believed it had been rummaged through. Though only some loose change had been taken, police did find a hockey bag left next to the vehicle.
Police believe it was likely taken from somewhere in the neighbourhood.
“West Vancouver Police canvassed the neighbourhood, but were unable to locate the owner of the bag. As the bag was located next to the car that had been rummaged through,
investigators believe it was taken from the area as well,” investigators said in a release.
Anyone with information about the owner of the cash or hockey equipment is asked to contact West Vancouver police at 604-925-7300.
