UPDATE:
Individuals are slowly returning funds to The Dunwoody Police Department. As of Friday morning, they say eight people had returned just north of $4,400.
“The law is the law,” police spokesman Sgt. Robert Parsons told AJC.com. “You need to turn in the property. It doesn’t belong to you. Reality needs to kick in, and you need to realize this money belongs to someone.”
