A 26-year-old woman was arrested earlier today (Wednesday, 8 January) at Belfast City Airport on suspicion of money laundering.
A large amount of cash was also seized by detectives from PSNI’s Organised Crime Unit.
She remains in custody at this time.
Detective Inspector Pete Mullan said tackling organised crime remains a priority for the PSNI.
And he said this operation and arrest is the latest in a series of operations carried out by PSNI Organised Crime Unit.
“We will continue to make Northern Ireland a hostile environment to those involved in organised crime within our communities. We will seek to identify them, arrest them and bring them before the courts.
“We will continue to robustly and proactively pursue those who are intent on damaging our communities,” he added.
“If you have any information about criminality call police on 101. Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.”
