Police crack down on drug lords
6:01am Monday 11th February 2008
Comments (116) Have your say »
Police today pledged to bring to book the Mr Bigs' making fortunes from the production of powerful skunk' cannabis in Bradford.
Drugs barons, who often use illegal immigrants from the Far East to cultivate the cannabis farms, are known to have links to people trafficking, money laundering and tax evasion.
Recent arrests and court cases have shown an increasing number of Vietnamese immigrants being used as "gardeners" to tend the growing cannabis plants in rented houses.
Two Vietnamese nationals were jailed in separate cases at Bradford Crown Court last week after they were found at houses in the city which had been converted into cannabis factories. Drugs squad officers are now hot on the tail of the shadowy professional criminals organising the cannabis production, but need the public to help bring them to justice.
Chief Superintendent Allan Doherty, Divisional Commander for Bradford North and Keighley Police, said people of all ethnic origins were involved in the production of skunk cannabis.
But he said: "We are interested in people further up the chain. We have information about some of these people. As well as preventing the production of a controlled drug, we aim to seize assets and link to other cannabis factories to prove a wider conspiracy.
"We need more information from the public. If we just catch the gardeners' from a cannabis factory we won't penetrate very deeply into the organisation.
"But if we can get information beforehand from the public and build up intelligence, when we do strike we can go for people higher up the organisation and start to penetrate the Mr Bigs' who are involved."

They would be better semi-legalising it - which would then stop all this time being wasted, and give the government something else to tax. It would also allow an age limit on buying it. By the way, the police know its less dangerous than alcohol.

if the police can't catch young thieves and muggers in Bradford how the hell are they going to catch 'Mr Big'...what a laugh.

For those who have not time to search the internet, people using cannabis suffer side effects such as paranoia and blackouts, which is, contrary to belief DOES lead onto harder drugs and in most cases Crime. This is the root of crime. Well done to the police and other agencies that work hard to improve our quality of life.

mr.brown must be thinking about cos it's extra tax at the end of the day and that's all he's bothered about!!
i agree if legalised that it should be strictly controlled, no harm in using it in your own house but wouldn't want to see kids having a bit on the streets.
It's very rare i go out in a weekend now on the p!ss, normally relax at home with a smoke....what is wrong with that??? And as for people saying its more dangerous then alcohol....i think it's you guys who need educating rather then believing all the government tell you!!!

freespeech...tell me when it has been proven that cannabis is more dangerous then alcohol??? I think you should wake up and smell the coffee and stop beleiving everything you are hear. How often do you see people who have had some cannabis smashing places and acting like thugs in the street??? I strongly agree certain drugs dont help society but they is a huge difference between cannabis and the likes of Heroin..a huge difference!!!
I thought the same as you, and smoked it for almost 40 years and almost everyday, it has done damage to me regarding memory, concentration, paranoia and possibly other things which the doctors are less sure of the causes.
It may be its just a lottery and other people who use it wont have any problems, but you can never be sure.

It's ignorant people like you that cause society to fall lower into the gutter. It's obvious that you have internet access, have a search of the harms of this drug.
if the police can't catch young thieves and muggers in Bradford how the hell are they going to catch 'Mr Big'...what a laugh. They would be better semi-legalising it - which would then stop all this time being wasted, and give the government something else to tax. It would also allow an age limit on buying it. By the way, the police know its less dangerous than alcohol.
For those who have not time to search the internet, people using cannabis suffer side effects such as paranoia and blackouts, which is, contrary to belief DOES lead onto harder drugs and in most cases Crime. This is the root of crime. Well done to the police and other agencies that work hard to improve our quality of life.

d: One of the reasons why people go on to other harder drugs is the relationship they have with the dealer. Therefore remove that person by making it legal and selling it in the same way you may sell alcohol with a age limit.

Drugs aren't evil - morphine and novocaine are widely used as pain killers and they're basically pharmaceutical versions of heroin and cocaine.
What I'm curious about is this though: if drugs are essentially pain killers (note the increase in use of prescription drugs too) just how sick are we as a society to self-medicate to this extent? What's so bad about being 'straight' - about everyday life - that we have to blot it out on a daily basis?
