£250,000 cash found in the back of a lorry - East Hampshire - The News: "A LORRY driver was found with more than £250,000 in used banknotes after a raid at Portsmouth international ferry port.
Officials swooped on an articulated lorry where they discovered the cash stashed inside.
It’s suspected the money may be linked to crime and was being taken abroad to be hidden in overseas bank accounts.
A 53-year-old man from Merseyside was arrested on suspicion of concealing criminal property. He was later released on bail pending further inquiries.
The money has been confiscated under the Proceeds of Crime Act and can only be released by a court if proof can be provided that the money was legitimate.
The UK Border Agency, which carried out the raid, said the lorry had been due to travel from Portsmouth to Santander in Spain when it was stopped."
