Couple who found $232,000 in ceiling want to claim cash

Checkpoint - A podcast by RNZ - Mondays

A Christchurch couple in 2021 found $232,000 tucked away in the insulation in their celing and they now want to lay claim to the cash. The police on the otherhand reckon it's probably from somebody else's drug dealing, so it's the proceeds of crime, so they should get it. A high court judge has granted the police a restraining order over the cash, but the couple will get to argue their case to keep it before a forfeiture order is issued. So who gets to call dibs? Barrister Marie Dyhrberg KC spoke to Lisa Owen.
