£1m found after house raided

Police raid house in Lowestoft and find £1m in cash

A woman has been arrested in connection with money laundering inquiries after £1m in cash was found during a raid on a house in Lowestoft, Suffolk.

She was one of 15 people held after a series of swoops in Britain and Spain.

Her identity is not yet known but she was arrested on Thursday morning by Suffolk police and customs officers but was later released on bail.

She was held after one of a series of raids by customs officers in this country and on the Costa Del Sol.

It was the culmination of an 11-month investigation involving 60 Spanish officials.

A spokesman for HM Customs said: "Inquiries centred on a British-run boat building operation on the southern coast of Spain.

"A number of people are being held in Spain and they face charges of drug smuggling, money laundering and tax evasion."
