AN honest customer who found hundreds of pounds in cash has been praised for returning it to the rightful owner.

Instead of keeping it for themselves, an unnamed member of the public who found £200 on the floor near the cashpoint at Tesco Extra in Cricklade Road, Cirencester, earlier this month, handed the money in.

Staff at the store worked with police to check CCTV and trace the out-of-pocket owner, who was delighted when PCSOs turned up with his cash.
