Police in Sydney may be close to unravelling the mystery of a man who left a lot of dough at an Italian restaurant - nearly AU$1 million.

Police say a man wearing shorts and a tank top left a suitcase at Cafe Marco on Tuesday morning. Staff at first thought the suitcase might contain a bomb, but it turned out to be stuffed with 50-dollar notes.

A New South Wales police spokesman says officers arrested a man in connection with the incident Tuesday afternoon. Senior Constable Chris Nash says the man then suffered an unknown medical problem and was taken to a local hospital where he remains under police guard.

Nash said detectives probably will have to wait until the man recovers before asking him more questions about the cash.
