Three arrested and assets seized in Kidderminster money laundering operation
Detectives have disrupted a suspected criminal enterprise.
Three people have been arrested on suspicion of money laundering offences in Kidderminster, resulting in the seizure and freezing of assets worth an estimated £1million.
Detectives from Proactive CID executed four warrants in the area based on intelligence surrounding suspected criminal activity.
These were carried out on 1st October on Finepoint Way and in the Rock area, with support from Wyre Safer Neighbourhood Team and British Transport Police.
A 48-year-old man and two women, aged 44 and 21, were taken into custody on suspicion of money laundering and possession of criminal property, while investigations continue.
Officers seized high value items and froze bank accounts linked to the suspects, aiming to disrupt the criminal enterprise.
Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Fenn said, "This is a significant disruption to a suspected criminal enterprise, which will certainly impact their attempts to operate. As well as arresting three suspects, the team did a great job in freezing bank accounts and seizing assets worth an estimated £1million. We will continue to work on this investigation to end this criminality and bring those involved to justice."
