Greater Manchester Police (GMP) made a significant cash seizure of £100,000 during a targeted anti-money laundering operation in Oldham. The operation took place at around 11.30pm on 11 July, when GMP’s Money Laundering Team and Specialist Operations stopped a vehicle in the area.
A 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of money laundering following the vehicle stop. During the search, officers discovered the large sum of cash hidden inside a bag.
This seizure is part of Operation Falcon, a new initiative launched just a month ago to combat money laundering networks across Greater Manchester. The operation focuses on disrupting organised crime by targeting illicit financial activities.
Since its launch, Operation Falcon has resulted in four arrests and the seizure of over £320,000 in illegal funds. GMP continues to pursue money launderers and organised crime groups, aiming to impact criminal activities by seizing their financial resources.
With this latest cash haul in Oldham, GMP is reinforcing its commitment to tackling money laundering and organised crime within the region.
