Police found £1 MILLION in cash found in a Cab in London

British Police found Almost £1 million was found in a black cab driving through London's east

Metropolitan Police discovered the stash of £943,000 when they stopped the taxi in east London.

"The cash was found when officers stopped a black cab in east London and found a large holdall in the passenger compartment which contained the cash," a Met Police spokesman said.

"The cash was subsequently forfeited under the Proceeds of Crime Act in early 2016."

 

Another £500,000 was found in a suitcase in a separate incident last year.

The pick ups came as more than £73 million was seized from convicted perpetrators during 2015/16, the biggest year since the Proceeds of Crime Act came into force in 2002.

It also included luxury sports cars and Class A drugs.

The largest confiscation order came in at £6,328,119.39 in May 2015 relating to the supply of chip and pin machines to central London brothels.

Police said the main perpetrator created a number of sham companies purporting to offer events and function facilities to corporate clients.
