Police in the German town of Minden say a 25-year-old man who arrived last year as a refugee is their “hero of the day” after he found some 150,000 euros ($230,000) — and handed it to authorities.
The unidentified Syrian man discovered the money in a cupboard he had been given by a charitable organization.
The man arrived in Germany last October as a refugee.
