An engineering student was caught carrying a suitcase with more than £250,000 in cash on a train at Manchester Piccadilly station.

Yuming Dong was part of a 'Chinese underground banking scheme' among students at the University of Manchester. The sophisticated operation, which detectives say involved 'large scale money laundering and deception', saw Dong use trains to transport more than half a million pounds of illegal cash from London to Manchester.

Police officers found Dong with a suitcase full of cash after he turned himself in. At Manchester Crown Court last Thursday (July 28), a judge sentenced the 21-year-old to 18 months imprisonment, suspended for two years.

He had previously been found guilty of money laundering.
