Schoolboy Joe Grace has received a good citizenship award for his honesty.

Joe, nine, found a wallet containing £45, credit cards and photographs while he was playing in a park near his Portslade home.

It had been lost in the park by a man who was visiting Brighton and Hove. He was so grateful for its return he gave Joe a reward.

Joe and classmates at St Nicolas Junior School in Locks Hill, Portslade, had been given a talk on honesty by schools liaison officer PC Andy Hart just before he found the wallet.

The youngster was presented with a good citizenship certificate at the school by Sussex Police yesterday.
