      I always love it when criminals get caught due to their default mindless lawbreaking attitude.

      I cannot grasp why people don’t wear seatbelts. It takes seconds to put on. If you do it for a while it becomes second nature. It stops you getting pulled by plod while you’re doing your drug runs. And a bonus side effect of the seat belt is that it is very effective in saving your life in the event of a crash.

      A man who was hiding a huge stash of money and cocaine in his house was caught after police stopped him for not wearing a seatbelt. Daniel Dunne 28, of Greenbank Drive, Sefton Park, was driving a Nissan Quashqai without a seatbelt when police pulled him over on June 20, 2024.

      As he got out the car, a small wrap of white powder, suspected to be cocaine, fell from the driver’s seat, and £600 in cash was found inside the car. Police then carried out a search at an address linked to Dunne.

      There, they found a stash of £1,066,382 in cash and around a kilo of cocaine, as well as weighing scales and a machine used to count cash. The cash was hidden around the property, including inside plastic bags and empty boxes of Cadbury Heroes.

      Today, March 21, Dunne was sentenced to seven years in prison at Liverpool Crown Court, after pleading guilty to possession with intent to supply a controlled Class A drug (cocaine) and acquiring/using/possessing criminal property.

      In September last year, the £1,066,382 found at Dunne’s house was the subject of a Proceeds of Crime hearing at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court and it was ruled that the cash was recoverable property.

      It will be sent to the Home Office and a proportion will be available to Merseyside Police for policing purposes, such as community initiatives to help prevent crime in our communities.

      Detective Chief Inspector Mike Dalton from Merseyside Police said: “What began as a relatively simple road stop because a driver was not wearing a seatbelt turned into a large-scale investigation into drugs supply.

      “This led to the seizure of more than £1million in cash, despite the efforts of Dunne to initially distance himself from the money.

      Reading the headline, I thought there had been some kind of Wonka Golden Ticket moment.

      Thought this was some sort of new Cadbury’s promotion for a second, was about to nip out for a tub.

      It is surprising how many criminals get caught because they’re too dumb to obey basic laws like wearing a seat belt.

      I’d love to see statistics on how many drug dealers got busted because they were speeding, jumped a red light or anything else that might warrant being pulled over by the police.

      Imagine opening a tub of chocolate and it just having money in it. It’s like the same kind of disappointment you’d get when you find a sewing kit in the shortbread tin.

      I always wonder how people can afford big houses when not having a high paying job in London, famous or footballer when everyone is average wage.
      Million pound in cash.

      Reminds me of the guy who was found with thousands of pounds of drugs in his boot after he was stopped for undertaking traffic at speed using the hard shoulder.
