MASSIVE POT FACTORY FOUND

 IN TUNNEL IN WALES 

 

G'day folks,

Recently in North Wales, police were tipped off about a legal mushroom farm. 

They arrived at the location which was located deep inside old abandoned railway tunnels. They were aware that this was a legal operation housing a mushroom farm in the underground tunnels. What they were called about had nothing to do with the mushrooms. Police raided the railway tunnels and found huge steel doors, a secret entrance, and gates which lead to something very serious.

 

 

They found 5 secret growing rooms, one of which a street value of over $373,000 dollars. The combined value of all five rooms equals to be over $3,315,000 dollars! During the drug bust, four men were taken into custody, all of which plead guilty.

 

 The abandoned railway tunnels served as a perfect secret place with ideal conditions to grow the class B drug in North Wales.

 

 The people who were caught, arrested, and charged are not the people behind the operation. They never found the ones responsible for funding the drug operation. They were simply employees of a legitimate mushroom business as well as the illegal marijuana grow operation. Authorities found 1,207 plants in various stages of growth in the 5 grow rooms. 

 

They also found 4 large irrigation rooms and a substation that powered the operation. Roads were rebuilt for use and huge steel doors were installed. This was no small venture. Police say that this was one of the best designed and constructed drug operations they have ever come across.

14 October 2015 - WHY ARE BRITISH POLICE CALLED BOBBIES?

WHY ARE BRITISH POLICE

CALLED BOBBIES?

G'day folks,

Ever been to the UK and spoken to a policeman? I have. They are called Bobbies, but do you know why? Read on ....

The concept of modern policing has its roots in pre-Victorian England, when the British home minister, Sir Robert Peel (1778-1850), oversaw the creation of London’s first organized police force. Before Peel’s 1829 reforms, public order had been maintained by a mix of night watchmen, local constables and red-coat-wearing army soldiers, who were deployed as much to quell political troubles as to deal with local crime.

In creating London’s Metropolitan Police (headquartered on a short street called Scotland Yard), Peel sought to create a professionalized law enforcement corps that was as accountable to everyday citizens as to the ruling classes. When Peel’s opponents complained that the creation of the new police force would restrict personal liberties, Peel responded, “I want to teach people that liberty does not consist in having your house robbed by organized gangs of thieves, and in leaving the principal streets of London in the nightly possession of drunken women and vagabonds.” 

Instead of the resented red coats, Peel’s patrolmen wore black jackets and tall wool hats with shiny badges. They went out armed only with a short club and a whistle for summoning backup, walking regular beats and working to gain the trust of the local citizens. Robert Peel’s system was a success, and by the mid-19th century large American cities had created similar police forces. In London, the policemen were so identified with the politician who created them that they were referred to as “Peelers” or—more memorably—“Bobbies,” after the popular nickname for Robert.
