Edison Police discovered $600,000 hidden in a giant teddy bear during their largest asset seizure at Bliss Spa on Woodbridge Avenue in May 2025, also confiscating a Tesla Model Y and luxury watches. The spa’s manager now faces major money laundering charges.

Instead of finding relaxation at Bliss Spa, Edison’s vice unit seized $754,373 overall, including funds from multiple accounts. Edison’s crackdown—praised statewide for shutting 19 illicit parlors—shows how creative hiding spots can’t outsmart determined cops and a stuffed animal’s stitched grin.
