Nearly £650,000 seized this year in suspected criminal cash

NEWS: Humberside Police

SHARE THIS STORY:

Published by Cat Soave at 9:46am 7th December 2018.


Nearly £650,000 of suspected criminal cash has been seized in the East Riding.

Humberside Police's asset recovery investigation unit has made their one hundredth cash seizure of the year bringing the overall total to £645,443 for 2018.

The largest of the hauls was £102,500 as part of a drugs investigation.

The force has a regional disruption team which can seize cash going through ports. Eleven seizures have been made amounting to £88,937.

Officers can also freeze money held in bank or building society accounts which is suspected to have come from crime, or that could be used in crime.

Because of this £167,902 has so far been frozen in seven individual bank accounts.

Senior Financial Investigator Lorraine Baines said:

“I’m extremely pleased with the results my team is getting. It’s the first time we’ve had a hundred cash seizures in a year and there will be plenty more to come.

“Most of the money we are seizing or freezing come from drugs crime.

“The main focus of those individuals involved in drugs is to make a profit. We’re making sure that profit doesn’t work its way back into their criminal worlds.

“If we’ve investigated you and our officers come knocking, then you’ll have to explain that your money has come from a legitimate source. If not, we can take action.

“Part of the money seized goes to the government and is reinvested into regional crime fighting initiatives.

“The remaining money comes back into force to be used to benefit the people living in the communities that we serve in the future.”
