Police seize £2 million in cash after five months of raids in Greater Manchester

Police have seized £2 million in cash as part of a crack down on criminals since April. One bust included £37k in cash and £10k worth of drugs from a raid in Wythenshawe.

Greater Manchester Police’s Economic Crime Unit (ECU) continues to crack down on illegal proceeds of crime.

The Asset Detention and Recovery Unit have successfully obtained forfeiture orders at court to the value of £2 million, entirely made up from seized criminal cash. The £37k found during a search of an address in Wythenshawe where a kilo of cannabis was also seized and had an estimated worth of £10k at street level, with digital scales and vacuum packs also found in the property.
