Police searching a man's home after stopping his car have found £1 million in cash.
Officers from the Metropolitan Police's Operation Venice, a squad set up to stop moped crime, stopped the suspect in a car park in Colney Hatch Lane on Tuesday.
They found £12,000 cash in the car, the force said.
Officers then went to his home in Haringey, north London, and found nearly £1 million in banknotes stuffed into shoe boxes and bags, along with a number of passports.
A suspect was arrested under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) and taken to a north-west London police station.
Detective Chief Inspector Shaun White, who leads Operation Venice, said: "There is no justifiable reason for this much cash not being kept in a bank account."
