A man has been arrested after £50,000 cash was found hidden in the lining of a pick up truck.

The vehicle was stopped at the Channel Tunnel terminal in Folkestone last night (Monday).

UK Border Force officers carried out a search of the Mitsubishi L200 with the assistance of a sniffer dog and found several bundles of cash wrapped in tinfoil.
