Nanaimo woman says, money began falling from sky after a car raced by her

A woman walking in Nanaimo says money began falling from the sky after a car raced by her as she strolled in the city's north end.

Nanaimo RCMP say the woman, who isn't being identified, noticed the floating cash as the vehicle disappeared down the street, so she gathered up the bills and called police.

Investigators say the total value is significant and it's possible the owner may not know it wafted out the car window, or the money may be related to illegal activities and those involved may not want to report the loss.

Constable Gary O'Brien says the money will be kept for 90 days and if no one comes forward, it will be given to the finder, but if someone can prove they own the bills, the funds will be returned.
