Gardai carrying out a speed check near the Waterford/Cork border found tens of thousands of euro in cash after pulling in a driver.
The Gardai were on duty near Fermoy when they spotted a vehicle they suspected was committing Road Traffic offences.
They pulled in the driver but he fled the scene, running into a neighbouring field.
Gardai said he disposed of property as he ran and in a follow-up search of the area, a large sum of cash was found stuffed into socks.
