A DOG that can sniff out cash was on hand when police allegedly found $170,000 in the roof of a home at Cromer.
During the raid on a home in Carrington Ave at Cromer this morning, local police had a currency-detection dog from the Australian Federal Police on hand as part of an ongoing investigation into the sale and supply of drugs on the northern beaches.
A Cromer man remains in custody and is being interviewed by the police.
Northern Beaches crime manager Insp Craig Wonders said the money was allegedly concealed in the roof cavity of the home but while the dog was on hand, it wasn’t needed because police found allegedly found it.
The money was mainly $50 banknotes that were bundled with elastic bands.
“The money is believed to be the proceeds of crime,” he said.
“We’ll allege the money is the proceeds of the sale and supply of drugs on the northern beaches.
“This is another demonstration of the local area command’s commitment to identify and target those involved in the sale, supply and distribution of drugs in the area.”
