Brothers hand out Xmas cash

New York - Shoppers got a Christmas
Eve surprise on Monday when a pair of brothers handed out $100
bills at a mall on Long Island, New York.
Police responded to a call from security staff at the
Sunrise Mall in the town of Massapequa, concerned that the
give-away might create a scene or involve counterfeit bills.
Instead, officers found a simple case of Christmas charity
where calm prevailed as the businessmen, aged 45 and 41, gave
out the money at the entrance to the shopping centre, police
said.
"These two brothers say they do this every year. They say
they've been blessed and just want to give something back,"
Detective Sergeant Anthony Repalone said.
"They gave it to people who they thought needed it. The
people were very appreciative."
Police declined to identify the brothers, respecting their
wish to remain anonymous.
