A 13-year-old boy allegedly stole a $25,000 stack of cash from his own grandfather and handed out wads of notes to his school friends. The unnamed child from Medina, Ohio, gave out $100 notes in the classroom before going to a friend's house after school, where he also showered adults with cash, police said. The group of friends then reportedly went on a shopping spree after the mass giveaway, which began last Wednesday at the town's Claggett Middle School. Payday: The unnamed 13-year-old showered classmates with $100 notes at Claggett Middle School in Medina, Ohio . Medina police told the Akron Beacon Journal that the boy, who lives with his 83-year-old grandpa and his mom, swiped the money from the senior's bedside table. Cops began to crack down on the cash bonanza after teachers at the boy's school blew the whistle on the scheme, by which time the majority of the cash was gone. Officers said that, as well as the children themselves, some was spent by 'adults, guardians or associates of the children who received the money', according to the Medina Gazette. Dollar: The children, and adults who were also given money, went on a spending spree. Some $7,000 has been recovered . As of Saturday, police had recovered some $7,000 of the man's savings, as well as some of the items the boy and his friends had bought with it. Police said that prosecutors will file charges once they have determined exactly who was involved. T.J. Hellickson, the school's principal, would only say that the school is co-operating with law enforcement.
