    An unusual donation at a southern op shop has landed two youths in police custody

    An unusual donation at a southern op shop has landed two youths in police custody


    A volunteer discovered a bag outside the store last month, containing packs of cannabis and a large wad of cash.

    Police were called and arrived just after two youths walked in looking for their lost bag - and were arrested.

    More than 40 grams of cannabis, scales, ziplock bags and nearly 4000-dollars cash was in the bag.

    Police say an air pistol, police scanner and more cash were found in a vehicle.
