Virginia Beach City officials would like to find the legal owner of a large sum of money which was recently found near the Marina Shores Marina. Usually, when large sums of money are found, the amount will not be mentioned so as to make proper identification of the owner easier, but in this case, the Deputy City Manager, Mr. Hansen mentioned the amount of $400,000 during the videotaped city presentation to City Council on 15 March.

Such a large sum of money being found could cause one to wonder as to what sort of business the owner was involved and as to whether it was legal or not. The City Attorney has been contacted to answer this question and to speed the return of the money. Anyone with legal reason to claim this money should contact the City Attorney at (757) 385-4303.
