Police : Anyone seen our money ?

An investigation has been launched to find cash that has gone missing from a police station.
The Sun newspaper reported that £170,000 seized in a drugs bust had vanished from Hamilton police office in Lanarkshire.

Strathclyde Police discovered that the money was missing during an audit, the newspaper said.

The money was reportedly seized by the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency during a routine swoop.

A police spokesman said: "An inquiry is under way to locate a sum of money which currently cannot be accounted for at Hamilton police office.

"Given that there is an on going inquiry it would be inappropriate to comment further."
