Police found tens of thousands of pounds in cash hidden in a car after stopping it on the M60. Officers stopped the car on the northbound carriageway of the ring road, near the junction with the M602 in Salford, following intelligence - where they found £50,000 hidden inside.
A 37-year-old man has since been arrested on suspicion of possession of criminal property following the operation, which involved officers from Greater Manchester Police’s (GMP) Economic Crime Unit, Money Laundering Team and Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit.
He has since been released under investigation. The swoop was made as part of Operation Falcon; launched this summer which is targeting the financial assets of criminals.
