The driver was rumbled at a routine road checkpoint in the city of Málaga around the end of last month.

The woman could not provide any justification for where the money came from – if moving large amounts of cash around you have to obtain a certificate from Hacienda; we’re talking about quantities over 100,000 euros.

These two mutts with the Golden Snouts picked up the smell of printed paper and the rest is history – well her million euros is, that’s for sure. Well, my wallets safe, unless these copper canines can detect Monopoly money in Greek Drachmas.

When the dogs started pointing and tutting towards the boot, they thought that they would find drugs, but instead they found bundles of 100s 50s 20s, 10s and 5s to the tune of 999,630. Hmmm, I wonder what happened to the other 370 euros…
