The two occupants were detained on suspicion of participating in the distribution of class A drugs and money laundering.
In a statement, the police said: “Last night, two of our officers stopped a car on the A55, and what they discovered on the two occupants shocked them.
“Along with other items connected to the delivery of drugs, a significant amount of cash was discovered inside the car.
“The two residents were brought in to speak with our welcoming custody staff after being detained on allegations of money laundering and involvement in the supply of Class A drugs.
“Officers also found a number of suspected Class A drugs, scales, and other things to support their investigation during a search of their home location.
