Watch how our NWROCU detectives investigated a Windermere drug dealer using a storage unit which led to the takedown of 3 OCG’s operating in Cheshire, Cumbria and Manchester.

Why is that no matter what level of drug dealer you are, the JD sports bag is always an essential item.

5:30 except they don’t break it down to street deals so would never earn that much and you don’t factor in the people below them bulking it up before dishing it out… It’s like when you say weed plant produce 500 grams per plant when a normal 3ft plant your doing good if you end up with 72grams when dry… Why don’t you exaggerate the grooming gang figures in the same way..? Or knife crime..?

As these large amounts of drugs were coming in from Portugal and the Netherlands was there any co-operation with the policing authorities in those two countries ? One would hope that this particular operation might in some way have resulted in further arrests over there. I think it's long been known that drugs from Latin America come mainly to Europe either through Amsterdam and Antwerp or through Spain and Portugal.

It’s only worth that much money coz it’s illegal if it was legalised and regulated it would be the same price as sugar ! If u was truly ‘public servants’ u would actually serve the public’s needs, clearly a lot of people want to take it, that is never going to change, if it was as cheap as sugar then addicts wouldn’t need to commit crimes to fund their habits would they, legalise it and all the problems surrounding it will be solved instantly

What is even more startling, disturbing and relevant, is that nobody has so far looked at the recurrence of serious reckless crime in the North, and attempted to address the root causes. Its no coincidence that the first regional crime squad was set up in the North West, and perhaps we should wonder why the area still fosters some of the most serious and reckless criminals. The reason, which has of course been overlooked, even by those who claim their profession to be 'intelligence', is that for a couple of centuries now, the populations of the North West have been poisoned by the corrupt, greedy, selfish actions of their wider societal hierarchy, in its headlong greedy grab for wealth and power, has left the environment and infrastructure so tainted by industrial contaminants, and in the last half century, add to that the radioactive pollution from Sellafield, and the continuous leaching from Victorian lead pipes into the domestic water supply, you are actually dealing with a national scandal of artificially induced brain damage; you are forcing every next generation of your own society, your own species, to inhabit damaged 'containers', and then you try and shut the stable door, by some lip service actions against the victims of your own greedy corruptions. You might just as well wait outside the handicapped school with your spike strip.

What about the people in Dubai and Portugal u just let them carry on doin it as usual, why not tell the truth and say it actually cost about a £1000 per kg at the source? If u just made it legal and sourced it for the people using it very cheaply u would stop the incentive and save every one using it a lot of money, that money would then stay in the uk economy and it would stop the criminal gangs instantly coz they wouldn’t have any customers! Simple stuff
