Police in Grant County have recovered a large amount of hard currency in connection to an alleged theft. The Moses Lake Police Department (MLPD) says 60-year-old Mickael Rivera of Colville made off with $90,000 in cash from a hotel in the 1700 block of Kittleson Road in Moses Lake on July 27. Officers located Rivera four days later and found him in possession of $40,000, but the balance of the woman's money was still unaccounted for. Officers with the MLPD remained doggedly dedicated to the case, however, and spent the better part of an ensuing day digging for the cash, which they eventually uncovered in a dusty field. The $50,000 was logged as evidence, pending its full return to the rightful owner.
