Two men have been arrested after police found drugs and £30,000 in cash stashed inside a Mercedes.
Police made the discovery after stopping the vehicle on the M61, near Bolton, on Sunday evening (May 30).
Officers first spotted the Mercedes 'travelling at high speed' close to Rivington services at about 9.10pm.
After pulling over the vehicle, they noticed a strong smell of cannabis coming from the car.
A search of the car uncovered around £30,000 in cash and a quantity of cannabis.
The driver of the Mercedes – a 30-year-old man from Dewsbury – was arrested at the scene on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and money laundering.
A second man - a 24-year-old from Preston - was arrested at the scene on suspicion of possession of class B or C drugs and money laundering.
Both have since been released under investigation.
