Either I'm terrible at maths or the police lie.

[Superaspie]

360 kg of coke.

Presuming a street value of around 40 - 50 a gram.

That's around 14 to 16 million? Where am I going wrong?

Surely the police wouldn't give such a blatant lie about value.

And it would have never have been sold in individual wraps, would it? So would have been worth less.

the police exaggerate

TheSnowFairy this is exactly what I thought! That's a hell of a lot in drug lord terms!

Maybe it's fake news designed to piss someone off and unsettle them?

*The police will sell it to MPs and government officials, who will pay ridiculously overinflated, inefficient prices - ergo £50million.

Sorted.*

Or, indeed, snorted.

Bold fail.

The government should sell it on, then fund the NHS.

Gideon might buy it.

£75 13 years ago, for decent hit but I have expensive taste

It's in a raw state hence valuation

Gosh, in our village we can pick up a couple of kilos for less than 1.5k. We use icing sugar to cut it and sell it at the farmers market.

What's 138 pounds a gram?
I've only ever bought weed in lbs and ozs I don't think you can buy it in grams. Maybe on the continent I can't remember now come to think of it..
Coke is cut with all kinds of nasty stuff, it's horrible and agree with a pp very overrated.

All the people coming on to mention the coke they take / have taken.
I helped fund torture, rape and murder. Teehee, naughty me.

Coke's a hundred quid a gram in London now.

(Ex DH was addicted)

The BBC reported that: the agency said the find would be a "major blow to the organised criminals involved." I think they're missing the point that the crims have lost their blow.

Yeah and I bet you bought battery hen eggs and never wondered about funding cruelty to animals when you were younger oyster. Now do bugger off and good day to you

I admit I have no drugs knowledge whatsoever but the prices you lot are talking about- how on earth does one afford it?
You seem to suggest it would cost roughly £300 a 'session'. How often would that be? Once a week? That's more than a mortgage!
I knew drugs weren't cheap but that's crazy!

Grass comes in grams

Years we've been going to Caister beach and all we've found is broken glass and dog turd!!

Yes, right enough people are filled with glee at the rape and murder they're funding.

Fuck sakes.

Never bought grass so I wouldn't know about that, used to buy weed in quarter or eights of an Oz. Or half an eighth would be a '10' for 10 pounds although I expect that would be more now, or less weight for the same price.
I've never paid for cocaine for the reasons mentioned above.

Oh I have absolutely no working knowledge of the drugs trade, no fear! I just assumed that the street value must be a post-cut value. The only knowledge I have is when I care for someone who is critically ill as a result of their 'session'.

Will no one think of the users? What with this and the lorry full of ecstasy the will be nothing left on the streets and they'll have to resort to red bull and Proplus

My husband says sod the drugs he wants the north face bags they weee in those are worth £100's each lol

Asda rollback drug prices 😂
