In connection with an ongoing investigation by officers of the Money Laundering Investigation Unit, two Lithuanian men aged 37 and 25, both residents of La Linea, were arrested yesterday on suspicion of conspiracy to retain the benefit of criminal conduct and of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

The arrests form part of an ongoing Economic Crime Unit investigation that was instigated as a result of one of the men being stopped by Drug Squad officers earlier in the day and found in possession of approximately £4,000 in cash concealed on his person.

Both men are current on police bail pending further enquiries.
