A BMW driver was found with £20,000 in criminal cash after a police chase in County Durham.
Jack David Green, 23, led police on a short pursuit on March 20, 2020, and ended up smashing into a fence. When officers finally caught up with him, "bundles of illicit cash" were found strewn across the carriageway and "stuffed in a hedge".
Durham Crown Court heard the money is thought to have been made by another suspect from the sale of cocaine, and that Green was working "under the direction" of others at the time to deliver the cash. Green appeared at the court on Friday to be sentenced for possession of criminal property after pleading guilty to the charge after his trial had started.
