Subject: Boy gets £44,000 in eBay parcel
Written By: Philip Eno on 07/18/07 at 9:40 am
Police are trying to trace the owner of 65,400 euros (£44,000) mistakenly sent to a 16-year-old boy who bought a Playstation Two for £95 on eBay.
The cash arrived in a box at the house in Aylsham, Norfolk, with the games console, but minus two games.
Police are holding the money under the Proceeds of Crime Act while the matter is investigated.
An eBay spokesman said the parcel's contents were "somewhat unusual" and it would help police with their inquiries.
The boy's parents, who are not commenting, alerted police when the parcel arrived on 20 March.
