A father and son from Carlisle have appeared in court accused of money laundering after police seized £165,000 in cash from a house in Houghton.
William Henry Young senior, 53, who gave his address in court as the Sunny Dale Caravan Park, Accrington, Lancashire, faces a charge of concealing criminal proceeds on November 30 this year.
He entered no plea and was remanded in custody. His son, also called William Henry Young, 32, of Ghyll Bank Yard, Ghyll Bank, Lower Harker, near Carlisle, faces two charges.
The first alleges that he concealed, disguised, converted, transferred, or removed criminal property – namely money – by the means of concealing cash and bank accounts.
He is alleged to have committed the offence on July 7 this year in Carlisle.
The second allegation – identical to that faced by his father – is that he concealed or disguised criminal proceeds on November 30 year.
He too entered no pleas and was remanded in custody.
Both men spoke only to confirm their names and addresses, with the older defendant saying he had a “care of” address at The Green, Houghton.
Police confirmed yesterday that they had seized £165,000 in cash from a property at The Green, Houghton.
It was one of the largest such cash seizures ever made in Cumbria, say police.
The police search, and another one at Ghyll Bank Yard, Harker, were conducted after search warrants were obtained, and were part of an ongoing money laundering investigation.
Young senior was represented by defence lawyer Claire Kirkpatrick, while his son was represented by Christoper Toms. Magistrates declined to take the case and confirmed that they will send both defendants to Carlisle Crown Court in the coming weeks.
The case will come back before magistrates on December 10.
