Be interesting to know if the Proceeds of crime people got any of that money.

That would have gotten life here in America that's wild

Thanks for keeping our streets safe.

Nothing but a drop in the ocean

great to see real policing being reported, keep it coming.

well done lads, now that is policing

seeing these dudes arrest dealers without using guns is wild to me as an american

Bright.as.a.2.watt.lite.bulb😮

Great work team

Isn't loss of tea privileges one of the harshest punishments in prison there?

Snitches get stitches 😉🫣

Notice the 3rd off the sentence. Every1 else got 12 apart from 1 guy lol

Never paid the police enough

This is a great success for the police, but British courts give very low penalties. How do you want to scare away the next bandits in the criminal queue?

Great work guys !!!! Hats off to all the hard work done .....

The police admire tate so much 😂

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 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

The governments and police and lawyers and judges and the entire underlying law enforcement infrastructure is setup Soley to to make sure the war on drugs continues, keeping profits and prices high and ensuring that crime and harm continues so that they stay employed. When ever you see a mug shot or an arrest or a trial, remember that the people who investigated and prosecuted and defended and judged are the problem. They are the ones that knowingly and wilfully ensure that this continues.

it's nice to see a bit of justice actually be carried out

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.

Gangnam Style

What a colossal waste of of time. All this time and money invested in catching a couple of middlemen and maybe impacting the supply for 48h. Whatever your view of drug legislation, this is just inefficient. You'll never beat OCGs until you address the corruption that allows the big fish to exist, you'll never beat the corruption until you can reduce the value of the black market, you'll never impact the black market while prohibition is the legislative approach to addiction and drug education relies on scare-tactics and mis-information instead of an honest evidence-based approach. How many additional front-line officers, nurses or teachers could have be paid instead of funding a group of gammon to live out their Special Branch fantasy by catching some other gammon?

What annoys me is that these guys get more time for drug dealing than kid killers

The courier whia been nicked with the 50kgs is defo going to have a bounty on his heqd and gonna go missing permanenlty

and ? The next have probably already moved in, a pointless game of cat and mouse. since 100 years.

*"Takedown of a £53 million drug empire" but also "The creation of a new £53 million drug empire"...* You don't seriously think the demand will get any less, you just created new market share for others... Prohibition will never succeed! Can people finally learn after 100 Years?

House of conmen are the real drug lords , protected by our police and army.

the higher the weight is the heighest chance it is to get caught. this is simple logic.

To think the real cost is 1/50th of its inital. But its confiscation lowers the supply.

A drug dealer called Steven Stockall?

Just taking out some competition?

Really wholesome that police are creating market gaps so other people also are able to get some of the revenue from the drug business 🥰🥰🥰

What a cwazy world when you know the history of who started the drug trade all them year's ago and who is running things out of south America or at least are well said all the way to the top of the biggest tree's on earth to nice little tax havens on lovely sunny island's lucky men so far up them trees no one can see them

As usual. Police do the hard work they get next to nothing sentence.

meanwhile the met guard the tories' illegal coke parties.

Nobody who picks up 50kg at a time is selling street level they are selling whole sale. You guys love making up numbers

"Escape the matrix"

Sod the bricks, I'd take the 700k and do one Some countries u can live like a king with 700k Here in the UK, 700k will just about cover your petrol and car insurance for the year😂

Great job well done., but some poor sentencing going in here.With that quantity of drugs and cash they should be getting 20 years plus.

The martrix is all around us neo

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

Crime pays

The rest of the cash has been buried underground

Another set of scum bags bite the dust. Well done. NEROCG Police

somes been talking to much!!!!!

If you're in this game you don't go onto any social media simple to many want to show off then wonder why they get caught 😂😂

My American mind cannot fathom how there are NOT 10,000 guns in his face at the 5:00 mark

Just shows how many are taking drugs
