HOLYHEAD, Wales, May 30 (UPI) -- A Romanian national trying to enter Wales was stopped by customs officials with 26,000 Euros ($32,000) in cash stuffed into her bra, officials say.

The currency was mostly in 500 euro notes, a denomination withdrawn from circulation in the United Kingdom after authorities deemed 90 percent of demand for the notes was linked to crime, The Sun reported.

Bob Lyne, U.K. Border Agency director, said Saturday: "Officers are working hard at all our ports to prevent drugs, contraband or the potential proceeds of crime from entering or leaving the country."

"Where we suspect that cash may be linked with criminal activity, we have the power to seize it and it will only be handed back if it is later proved to be legitimate," he said.

The woman, stopped at the Port of Holyhead after coming from Dublin, Ireland, could not explain why she had concealed such a large amount of cash in that currency, but claimed, although could not prove, she had earned the money from the sale of a business in Ireland, The Sun said.
