Three Arrested In Money Laundering Investigation
A woman and two men have been arrested in connection with an investigation into suspect money laundering.
The arrests were made by detectives from the PSNI's Economic Crime Unit, during search operations in the Belfast and Lisburn areas.
Under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, officers searched three properties and seized a sum of money, a suspected Taser and suspected Class B controlled drugs. The seizures will now undergo further forensic examination.
A 37-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of possessing criminal property, converting criminal property and fraud by false representation. She was later released on police bail to allow for further enquires as the investigation continues.
Two men, aged 38 and 59, were also arrested on suspicion of a number of offences, including possession of criminal property.
The 59-year-old man was later released on bail, and the 38-year-old remains in police custody at this time, assisting with enquiries.
Commenting, Detective Chief Inspector Ian Wilson from the Police Service's Economic Crime Unit said: "We remain committed to targeting those involved in money laundering, and would encourage anyone with information, or concerns, to contact officers on 101."
