Tesco shopper to the rescue after little boy loses £15 birthday money in supermarket

A four-year-old boy's birthday was brought back from the brink of disaster after he lost £15 in a Tesco store. He was going to spend the birthday money on a toy helicopter all by himself.

But little Preston, who had gone to the store with mum Karen Hodgson, was left in tears at the checkout when it was discovered he had lost the money somewhere in the store. The young boy cried when he saw the toy taken back and put on the shelves, HullLive reports.

But his day was saved by a kind-hearted stranger who bought Preston his toy. And now, after a social media appeal, his mum has been able to make contact properly with the Good Samaritan who appeared at just the right time at the Orchard Park Tesco in Hull.
