‘STOLEN’ WALLETS CLOGGING DRAIN

MANILA: Philippines sanitation workers unblocking a drain discovered dozens of wallets had been clogging it up – some containing credit cards and IDs, but no money.

A man working near the scene shot video footage showing the workers in a village in Batangas city, south of the capital Manila, sorting through wallets, removing and laying out items including identity cards found in them.

The items were turned over to police so they could identify and alert the owners who were likely victims of pickpockets, David said. Reuters |
