Munich (dpa) – German police are investigating the case of a 13-year-old boy who is believed to have given away thousands of euros
to passers-by on the street on Saturday.
The boy, from the town of Bad Toelz in the southern state of Bavaria, gave away amounts of 100 to 2,400 euros (110-2740 dollars) according
to police.
A number of beneficiaries later reported the cash gifts to the authorities, with 4,500 euros eventually being handed in at the local
police station.
Newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported that 6,000 euros still remained unaccounted for, however.
Officers later found the teenager on the street, with a large amount of cash still in his possession. He admitted that he had taken the
money from his family home.
His parents were apparently “not particularly impressed,” Sueddeutsche reported, citing local police.
