Greater Manchester Police made a significant cash recovery last night, seizing approximately £70,000 during a car stop in Bury.
A 24-year-old man was arrested on Rochdale Road at about 6:30pm on 15 April. He is currently in custody on suspicion of possessing criminal property.
This arrest and cash seizure form part of Operation Falcon, a robust crackdown led by GMP’s Serious and Organised Crime Group and Specialist Operations. The operation targets cash-based money laundering activities across the Greater Manchester region.
Since its launch, Operation Falcon has successfully confiscated more than £3 million in illicit funds.
Detective Superintendent Joseph Harrop commented: “This latest seizure demonstrates the effectiveness of Operation Falcon and the dedication of officers working proactively to protect our communities.”
He added, “Since the operation began, we have seized more than £3m across Greater Manchester, and we will continue to target those suspected of being involved, ensuring that criminal profits are taken out of circulation and reinvested back into our communities.”
