Boy gets £44,000 on eBay

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. IT'S MINE!!!

Police are holding the money under the Proceeds of Crime Act while the matter is investigated.
