Did you accidentally drop a significant amount of cash in the 500-block of Dominion Ave, Port Coquitlam? Coquitlam RCMP is asking the rightful owner to come forward.

On July 6, 2022, an upstanding citizen found the cash and immediately turned it in to the Coquitlam RCMP detachment, says Constable Deanna Law spokesperson for the Coquitlam RCMP. When the right person does call us, they will need to answer specific questions to make sure we are returning the cash to the correct individual.

The rightful owner must be willing to describe the amount, denominations, and what the cash is carried in.

Coquitlam RCMP would like to remind the public that if you have lost a large amount of money, you could call police and make a report. "There is no reason to feel embarrassed", says Constable Deanna Law. Accidents happen and police would simply like to get the money back to the individual that lost it.

To reach the investigator and claim the found cash from July 6, 2022, please call the Coquitlam RCMP non-emergency number at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2022-17143.
