According to a recent Patch article, police seized the pricey bear in Middlesex County. "After a yearlong undercover investigation, Edison Police's Vice Unit discovered $600,000 in cash sewn inside a giant stuffed teddy bear during a raid, authorities said."

It must have been a large teddy bear to fit $600,000 inside the teddy. It sounds like something you'd see on the silver screen. This however, is an actual crime scene and Edison Police discovered the pricey bear during their investigation.

According to Patch, "The coordinated raids targeted Bliss Spa, an illicit massage parlor located at 2595 Woodbridge Avenue, and the residence of its manager and de facto owner, Daniela Diienno, resulting in the arrest of five people and more than $750,000 in seized assets". The raid took place on Thursday, May 8th.
