A British woman was caught at Heathrow trying to board on a flight to Dubai with almost £2million in cash stashed inside five suitcases.
Tara Hanlon, 30, from Leeds, was stopped by Border Force at Heathrow's Terminal 2 at around 8pm on Saturday, October 3. Border Force officers searched her luggage and found £1.9million in cash - the largest money detection seen so far in 2020.
Hanlon was arrested alongside another woman, 28, from Doncaster, and an investigation was launched by the National Crime Agency (NCA).
She was charged with money laundering and appeared before Uxbridge Magistrates Court on October 5. The other woman has been released under investigation.
