A real-life Father Christmas has left shoppers in a Devon village bewildered after he secretly handed out ã50 notes in a local supermarket.
The generous man, who has not been identified, secretly slotted the cash-filled envelopes into customers' shopping baskets, complete with letters wishing them a Merry Christmas before swiftly disappearing.
It is understood that at least 12 people, including a retired couple, were the lucky targets of the Good Samaritan in the days leading up to Christmas.
The ââ¬Ågrey hairedââ¬Â benefactor, who is thought to be aged in his 30s or 40s, became the real life Father Christmas as he walked through the crowded aisles of a Tesco store in Sampford Peverell.
After shocked customers initially thought it was an in-store promotion, many locals are now convinced the series of events was a genuine attempt at kindheartedness.
Tesco officials are now trawling internal CCTV footage in an effort to identify the man.
