Officers from West Mercia police stopped a second car and arrested a man, 32, near to j5 on the M6, finding a further £30,000 cash in his boot. All three were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply drugs and money laundering and remain in custody for questioning.


National Crime Agency Operations Manager, Jim Cook, said: “Seizing cash has a major impact on criminal networks involved in drug trafficking and prevents them from reinvesting their profits in criminality.


“Thanks to the support of our the Central Motorway Police Group and West Mercia Police we have what we believe is criminal cash. We will continue to work with partners to protect the public.”


Wilsons Group add their congratulations to the National Crime Agency for their successful operation.
