Bundles containing thousands of pounds in cash keep turning up on the streets of Blackhall Colliery in northern England, according to police.

据警方称，英格兰北部布莱克霍尔煤矿的街头不断出现装有数千英镑现金的包裹。

Residents of the village have been coming across bundles of £20 notes-usually worth £2, 000-in the former mining village in County Durham.

该村的居民在达勒姆郡的一个前采矿村发现了一捆20英镑的钞票，通常价值2000英镑。

The latest discovery was on Monday, meaning four of these cash bundles have been handed in this year and 13 since 2014

The bundles are usually left in plain sight and have been scattered across the small coastal village.

The owner has two weeks to collect the cash, which is then returned to the finder if not claimed, according to Peterlee Police.

Policeman John Forster said in a statement: "The circumstances remain a mystery so we would welcome any information that will help us get to the bottom of these random incidents."

警察约翰·福斯特（John Forster）在一份声明中表示：“情况仍然是个谜，因此我们欢迎任何有助于我们查明这些随机事件真相的信息。”

He told The Northern Echo: "It isn't an affluent part of the world, so for them to find cash of that amount and instantly think about taking it to the police stations shows the community spirit there is."

他告诉《北方回声报》：“这不是世界上一个富裕的地方，所以他们能够找到这么多现金，并立即考虑将其带到警察局，这表明了那里的社区精神。”
