SAN ANTONIO, July 3 (UPI) -- Police in San Antonio, Texas, said people were stopping their cars on Loop 410 to pick up cash after a box containing about $100,000 was thrown from a vehicle.

San Antonio police spokesman Sgt. Gabe Trevino said police were engaged in a car chase related to an attempted drug dealer sting when an occupant of the car threw the box of cash out the window, KSAT-TV, San Antonio, reported Thursday.

Trevino said the car eventually collided with two other vehicles at an intersection and undercover Drug Enforcement Administration agents arrested the driver.

The spokesman said motorists who stopped to recover the cash are being urged to return it to the DEA as the bills are marked for identification and are considered evidence in a federal drug case.
