Money laundering - wrong soap powder?

The Times reports on the arrests in the case of the Tonbridge heist:
"The woman was arrested as she tried to open a building society account with bundles of used notes wrapped with tape marked Tonbridge.
It is understood that the woman walked into the Portman Building Society in Bromley, Kent, and said that she wanted to make a large deposit. Staff, noticing that the £6,000 was bound with tape marked Tonbridge, kept her talking while they phoned the police."
Not exactly evidence of a criminal mastermind at work, is it?
