A woman has been arrested after £60,000 in cash was found in a carrier bag in a car in Carnforth.
The money was seized after officers from Lancashire Police’s TacOps department searched a car in Carnforth yesterday (Thursday, August 11).
The Kia Niro was stopped on Dunkirk Avenue, Carnforth, after leaving the M6 motorway just after 2pm.
A search of the vehicle recovered a carrier bag containing the large quantity of cash.
