Police don't even know whose money it is, or where it came from. I think they should be able to keep it.

I'd guess either 1. they have talked to the culprit, who didn't fancy going to prison so didn't admit to it, or 2. one of the previous tenants had a regular visitor that they didn't know was storing the cash there.

I know they said none of the previous tenants had a history but I'd expect most drug dealers probably don't have a criminal history, if they are good at their job.
