Newark teen fishes safe full of stolen money from river, two years after he found live grenade

A teenager from Nottinghamshire who fished a safe filled with money from a river says it is the 'best thing we have ever found'. George Tindale, 15, was magnet fishing with his dad Kevin, 52, in Lincolnshire when he happened upon the astonishing find.

Inside the safe the pair found 2,500 Australian dollars, equivalent to roughly £1,400. They had discovered the safe in the River Witham in Grantham at the beginning of April.

And, according to Lincolnshire Live, it just so happened the money had been swiped from Grantham businessman Rob Everett back in 2000. He has now been reunited with his cash thanks to George and his family, who live in Newark.
