What with the amount of surveillance cameras in this country, I’m surprised that people actually think they can get away with this.

[@FreedomBaba]

The war on drugs is a catastrophic failure. This is a drop in the ocean. Legalise tax and control.

[@LJI777]

this video shows that its not a catastrophic failure they cant legalise drugs which are destroying communities the only reason that it could be classed as a failure is that the people dealing drugs dont get a hefty enough sentence because if it was mandatory life in prison im pretty sure people wouldn't do it the law are to kind to career criminals

[@theconspiracyfactorist.144]

No way this should be legalized, these drugs ruin people's lives.

[@andyacropopolis5815]

You do realise this is just a drop in the ocean. And as soon as that gang is busted within a day its filled by another.

[@johjohn8744]

I guess this leaves us with one question. Shouldn drugs like this be legalized?

[@theconspiracyfactorist.144]

Is there going to be a documentary on this? Would be grand.

[@thisisanfield7085]

12 / 18 years… How can you put a value on that? Crime don’t pay.

You guys are back 🎉

[@helentucker6407]

Wow, the piles of stuff seem to be bigger than ever before! Mountains 😮

[@benjaminblakemore9704]

Nice work boys!!😊

[@colinfarrelly2513]

This underlines how much of this stuff is about if the likes of these people are handling this much. At this level, the same sort of set up all over the country. Well done now start again.

[@RFT24]

Oh dear

[@boxtie]

excellent !

[@jasonantigua6825]

Very nice

[@saffy4352]

This could have definitely been written.

[@Richard-oc4lx]

A question ihave always wondered is if big shipments like this are found does that make the price on the street to users go up ?? And by howmuch . If not thenthat tells me that supply is so much more than this littel collection of drugs in the uk ?? 😊

[@billywilliams8833]

Not exactly hidden well was it, I wonder if someone was turning a Blind Eye at Customs on Previous Runs!!

[@VictoriaJones-gy8es]

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😂

[@thegoodwithin5984]

A job well done 💯💯

[@eddiepilsman7130]

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.

[@mcrJohnSmith]

First comment😁 waited all my KZbin life for this moment

[@JCCOOLDOWN]

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

[@chaseshadow]

Very lenient sentances hmmmmmmm

[@Woolfy_420]

Holy shit thats a lot of drugs and money

[@Thanoswasright]

I feel enriched…..

[@RegiyThornton]

The rest of the cash has been buried underground

[@ChrisOld-of1hd]

Where does the money funneled into who's corporatoons go

[@user-jc7jb3bu5s]

250 million is like one penny to cartel.

[@jamesstone9091]

good work but the sentences are too light for that weight

[@bv3bv334]

Was gonna say 12 and 7 years was f$cking ridiculous....but I'll take 18 years.

[@stevey-nwas1230]

Small sentences for that massive amount of drugs !!! Great results for the lads !!!

[@tonysoprano8750]

How tf is 18 years small

[@joemyers8289]

What a haul

[@deangreenhall3762]

[@tonysoprano8750]

No way thats crazy did u know he was doing all this

[@gbwildlifeuk8269]

They'll only serve half the sentence then less the time on remand. Fir the claimed 250mil empire its nothing!

[@hearmenow909]

You see people get more time for way less drugs. They did ok with their sentences really.

[@KumaBean]
