A homeless couple who found a rubbish bag filled with £6,300 in stolen cash handed it in to police have been praised for their honesty.

Officers were stunned when they were given the money by Rejanel Jesus dos Santos and his partner Sandra Domingues, particularly as the amount would have been enough for them to buy their own home.

The cash had been stolen from a restaurant and the owner was so grateful he offered the couple a job.

Mr dos Santos and Ms Domingues, both 36, have been homeless for a year and live underneath a viaduct in Brazil's largest city, Sao Paulo.
