No charges are being laid in the case of the wallet-losing weirdo.

Over the last month, at least five women reported coming across a wallet, often in a ditch near Assiniboine Park. Soon after finding the wallet — which was loaded with thousands of dollars of what appeared to be legal tender — a man would come up and claim it, saying he’d just misplaced it.

The strangeness of the encounters, and the fact that the same story happened over and over, caused suspicion among the women who were involved, so they reported it to police.

The West District Crime Unit investigated. They were able to identify an individual connected to the incidents, and as a result ended their investigation. No charges have been or are expected to be laid.

Police thanked the public for notifying them of the suspicious activity.
