'Criminals launder money in order to benefit from serious organised crime and drug trafficking which in turn leads to violence in communities'
Cops found £100,000 in a shed in Salford. The cash was recovered after the arrest of man on suspicion of money laundering.
Officers were patrolling 'a violent crime hotspot' in the city on Sunday when they identified and arrested a 35-year-old man wanted on suspicion of money laundering offences. A property was searched before £100,255 in cash - hidden inside a rucksack and a bin bag in a shed - was recovered. A 66-year-old man and 62-year-old woman were also arrested on suspicion of money laundering offences. All three suspects were released under investigation.
“Operation Venture is working hard to prevent such crimes from ever taking place and we regularly use data to identify violent crime hot spots across the force. These hot spots then become the focus of high-profile police patrols by specialist officers and aid us in detecting and arresting offenders.
“The arrest and seizure is a direct result of this hotspot policing approach and I hope it demonstrates our commitment to keeping the public safe."
