Police have arrested two people on suspicion of money laundering after seizing more than £100,000 cash and boxes of imported cigarettes.
A 44-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman were taken into custody after officers found the goods and cash at an address in Hampton Road, Chingford, last Thursday.
Acting on a tip off, they asked to enter the property and found bags of money and several boxes of imported cigarettes.
Police say the occupiers could not give a satisfactory explanation as to why they had the money and goods.
The man and woman have been bailed until a date in late August.
