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

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.

50 million is the estimated street value, as in after it's been mixed multiple times by each source it passes through and then eventually sold on the "street" - Or at least that was my understanding of it!

Am I the only person who feels like they've led a really sheltered life, after reading this thread? Seriously, I'm clueless!

@flumpsnlumpsnstuff comparing torture, rape and murder with battery farmed hens?

Dude, you just lost your argument.

Don't buy drugs, then they're free!

But yes, since a teen I have been sitting with my parents watching the news and when street value comes up, not being able to say, "bollocks that's the street value".

My local shop frequently have multibuy offers for coke. I think the police have not accounted for this in their calculations. Obviously not using a handy online price comparison tool.

I live in London and although I don't do it it's £50 an average gram because I was offered some just yesterday (did not and will not buy it anymore). There's so much of it in London that the prices are quite competitive.

Nobody takes does 3 grams in one night unless it's really weak shit or they're Daniella Westbrook. I remember when one E was enough in the 90s but by 2000s you needed 3 for the same hit, so I can guess that they could stretch that haul to £50m because it's cut to kingdom come these days. Probably 80% crushed teething power and Pro Plus.

Smoke always was sold in eighths and quarters but it now tends to be sold at £10.00 a gram, cheaper in bulk. Or so I am told.

I used to take 3 grams a night during a particularly troubled time. Not every night but it became a problem. That stuff is moreish.

These drug haul estimates are notorious for inflated values (by police). I think the £50million is a maximum not a central/average value, but there are many variables. Saying police have lied is unfair, imho.

calculation from the police sounds broadly correct to me, but irrelevant, as obviously it will never be sold.
