£12,000 Cash Haul Found Hidden in Clothes During Channel Tunnel Stop
Channel Tunnel police made a shocking discovery at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, May 31, 2022, when they stopped and searched a car. Inside two holdalls hidden among clothing were a dozen bundles of cash, each packing £1,000 – a tidy £12,000 in total.
Cash or Crime? Men’s Story Falls Apart
The two men in the vehicle claimed the money was spending cash from relatives. But when pressed, they couldn’t provide proof and changed their story. Police immediately seized the cash and arrested the pair on suspicion of money laundering.
Suspects Held As Investigation Continues
- The older man, 36, with no fixed address, has been released while inquiries continue.
- The younger, a 22-year-old Londoner, remains in custody. He is wanted for drug offences committed outside Kent.
Police are now piecing together the full story behind the mysterious £12,000 cash stash.
