Surrey Police has officially become the first UK police force to effectively seize and convert bitcoin.
Last year in April, Surrey Police seized 295 bitcoins held by now-convicted criminal Seregjs Teresko.
The police reportedly found a digital key to access the criminal’s bitcoin at his property located in Cobham.
Should the Surrey Police department have hedl the cryptocurrency for a little while longer, they could have netted upwards of $ 800,000.
