More than £60,000 has been taken hold of by detectives investigating money laundering.

One man was arrested on suspicion of possessing criminal money by Kent Police at the Port of Dover last Thursday.

Bazyli Rymarz has now been charged with three counts of concealing criminal property and one count of acquiring criminal property, between March last year and this month.

Rymarz, 20, of Ley Farm Close, Watford, Hertfordshire, was also charged with driving without a licence and driving without insurance.

This followed further inquiries, which were supported by the Eastern Region Specialist Operations Unit.

A search was also carried out at a property in Watford and Krystian Rymarz, 26, of Ley Farm Close, was subsequently arrested.

He was later charged with concealing criminal property.

Both men appeared at Canterbury Magistrates’ Court last Saturday.

They were remanded in custody and will next appear at Canterbury Crown Court on Monday, February 24.
