Money laundering
Dorset Police Commercial Fraud department invited Dorset Crimestoppers to join them in the fight against money laundering.
We produced a bookmark and it was distributed throughout the county in hotels, libraries, travel agents, Citizen Advice centres, financial institutions and ferry and airports terminals.
Within a week of distributing the bookmarks, a person flying out of the county to Spain was stopped by a Security Officer who was aware of the money laundering campaign and a large sum of money was found hidden in his luggage.
