Police in London have revealed that they found nearly £1million in a suitcase in the back of a black cab.

They revealed the huge haul as they released information on money that they retrieved in 2015/16.

Scotland Yard said: ‘The cash was found when officers stopped a black cab in east London and found a large holdall in the passenger compartment which contained the cash.

‘The cash was subsequently forfeited under the Proceeds of Crime Act in early 2016.’

In total they seized more than £73million under the Proceeds of Crime Act which came into force in 2002.

It’s the largest total since the act came into place.
