Police investigating the discovery of a bin bag containing thousands of pounds in bank notes have issued an appeal for information.

The bag was left on the doorstep of a private house in York and was handed into York police on the morning of 20 August 2013, shortly after the householder made the discovery.

Police are investigating where the cash came from and are appealing for anyone who has any information to contact them.
