Officers also seized cannabis with an estimated street value of almost £500,000 from the lorry the horses were in. A source said: “Some people are saying it brings a new meaning to the phrase dirty money. But it’s no laughing matter, really. The horses were waiting to go through port security when the sniffer dogs started going crazy.
“They were extremely agitated and the driver of the vehicle and his assistant were requested to stand aside while a full check of the vehicle and its occupants was carried out. It took a while, but eventually a large sum of money was recovered. It’s a most unusual case and very cruel and distasteful. But it goes to show the lengths people will go to.”
Officers were alerted to the vehicle by the police dog working on port duty. The animals were scanned by a vet to check if they had been used to conceal any other items. Two men have appeared at Stranraer Sheriff Court on drugs charges. One was remanded in custody and the other bailed.

My ex-flatmate was robbed when on holiday in the states. The thief was quickly caught but initially didn't seem to have the money. Turns out it'd been rolled up and hidden up his bum. My flatmate was allowed to reclaim his cash, however the policewoman who was counting it out to him kept licking her thumb when counting notes. He was doing his best not to retch while she counted.
Hahaha!
this story is complete fabrication please remove it.
2 men were charged with drug related offences on may 1st in the port.

a small amount of cash was found in the lorry cab.
the 2 horses were travelling from eng to ni and were both in good order.
