Police have seized about $1.2 million in cash alleged to be the proceeds of crime after stopping a car for defective brake lights.

Police say they stopped the car at Sefton, in Sydney's west, about 6.30pm (AEDT) on Tuesday and allegedly found a cardboard box in the boot containing a large amount of cash.

The car's occupants - a 34-year-old Camperdown woman and a 36-year-old Riverwood man - were charged with recklessly dealing with proceeds of crime, and goods in custody suspected of being stolen.

The woman was due to appear in Burwood Local Court on Thursday while the man was refused bail and is scheduled to appear in Burwood Local Court on Monday.
