Handed it to//turned it over the police

The boy found a fancy purse and soon _______ the police.

Hi,

The above is a stand-alone test question, and the given answer is "turned it over." Nevertheless, I think the correct answer should be "turned it over to."

Besides, does "handed it to" fit? If not, can you give me a reason? Thanks.

Hello Angli, I would opt for "handed it in to the police". If you did use "turn it over", yes, you would need to add "to". MrP
