A 45-year-old man was charged with money laundering tonight following the seizure of more than £100,000.

The charge followed the search of a house in Ballymena, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland, yesterday.

A total of £104,560 was seized under the Proceeds of Crime Act during the operation by the Tactical Crime Unit in the Rosses area of the town.

A second man and two women arrested at the same time were released without charge. The accused is expected to appear in Coleraine Magistrates' Court tomorrow, said a police spokesman.
