Police in Hai Chau District in the central city of Da Nang on Wednesday returned lost property to a Korean couple who visited the city for their honeymoon two day earlier.

The police handed over 1.8 million Korean won (US$1,590) and $600 in cash to Lee Kyung Sooe, 30, at an event held at their office at the presence of Le Anh, Chairman of Hai Chau District People’s Committee.

Lee told the police that what the police recovered was all of the money she and her husband brought along for the trip to the central city.

The police retrieved the money the Korean couple left on a car several hours after they reported the case to the police via an employee of a hotel in the city on Monday.

The couple took a car to a hotel on Pham Van Dong street and then to Novotel hotel after arriving at Da Nang International Airport. They got into the hotel and realized that they had left their wallet with all the money in the car.

The foreign couple immediately informed to the guard of the hotel, and the man then reported the case to the police of Thach Thang Ward.

Several hours later, the police found the driver of the car and recovered the wallet.

Hai Chau District People's Committee on Wednesday awarded VND10 million ($450) for the police in Thach Thang Ward for quickly taking back the property of the foreign visitors.

According to Hai Chau District chairman Le Anh, Da Nang is a tourism city, so any problems involving with tourists should be prioritized by the police.

"The police need to be always affable and enthusiastic in helping travelers to help promote the tourism sector of the city, Anh added.
