Cumbria Police said raids in Yorkshire on Monday resulted in a 27-year-old man from Wakefield and a 32-year-old man and 31-year-old woman from Barnsley being arrested on suspicion of theft.
They have since been released on police bail.
Cash totalling "several" thousand pounds was also seized from a property.
