ST. GEORGE — Three teenagers working at the Subway sandwich shop in Springdale discovered a purse left behind bursting with money Monday evening.

As the employees closed the establishment just before 10 p.m., they noticed a purse hanging on the back of a chair on the patio.

One of the teens told St. George News that they estimated it was close to $15,000 when they counted some of the money.

Paul Dick, one of the three, said the teens were surprised to find so much cash in the purse. He added the money was in large bills and the purse was a black Louis Vuitton.

He said they looked for a driver's license to contact the owner but couldn't find one. The workers turned in the wallet to the fire department since they weren't sure where the police station was.
