A large amount of cash was seized and two foreign nationals, a 29 year old Polish male and a 26 year old Romanian female were arrested yesterday afternoon (Tuesday 6th February) by officers of the RGP’s Money Laundering Investigation Unit on suspicion of money laundering.
The arrest came about after the officers were alerted to the two individuals who had been trying to exchange a large cash amount of sterling into other denominations, and had at the time refused to provide any information regarding the source of the money.
Following their arrests the two individuals were interviewed by officers and were subsequently granted Police bail pending further enquires to ascertain the provenance of the money.
