Codename Julie's 30th anniversary [UK]
    #6714791 - 03/26/07 10:39 PM (16 years, 11 months ago)

March 26, 2007 - BBC
Codename Julie's 30th anniversary

A "groundbreaking" undercover police operation which cracked a £100m drugs ring, is celebrating its 30th anniversary.

Detectives recovered six million LSD tabs during Operation Julie, which centred on rural Ceredigion and Powys.

The bust, on 26 March 1977, was one of the biggest in history, and saw 17 people jailed for a total of 130 years. Police had arrested 120 people in all.

The haul was estimated to be up to 60% of the world's LSD market at the time.

The drugs were made in the sleepy village of Carno, near Newtown, Powys, and many of the people involved in the illicit supply of the substance lived in Tregaron and nearby Llanddewi-Brefi.

Ritchie Parry, an ex-detective sergeant who worked on Operation Julie, said the bust took out 40% to 60% of the world's LSD market, and 80% to 90% of the British market.

He said the bust was "groundbreaking" because of the value involved, and the fact it was one of the first joint police operations - even though it featured a relatively small number of officers.

Retired inspector Dai Rees, from Pembroke, was also part of the team.

He said: "The success of the operation was a severe setback to the criminal fraternity, but most importantly prevented loss of life and injury upon those who saw its use as a 'social mind bending experience'.

"I am heartened that Operation Julie was the forerunner to many subsequent and current successful investigations. Many lessons were learned."

This is a mourning of that day. No anniversary celebrations.

Lucy is definately increasing around here.. I don't think much of it is made here though, I imagine as with the RC's it all comes from eastern europe.

Dr :ronpaul: says to stop trying to treat the side-effects of big government and focus on the core issues. End the Federal Reserve/audit the gold reserves at Fort Knox, abolish the IRS, end all wars and occupancies, stop the building of an empire that will inevitably fail, and cut all unconstitutional federal programs. Put the power back in the peoples' hands by ending this nanny-state.

Damn! Is my math right? (assuming highish 150ug doses anyway)

That would have been about 296 pounds!

6,000,000 X 150ug(dose)=900,000,000ug/190000=4737ounces

150ug=1/190000 of an ounce

Since the initial publication of the charged electromagnetic spectrum, humans
learned that what they can touch, smell, see, and hear... is less than one
millionth of reality.

What the hell is the point in celebrating something like this? Thats like celebrating losing your virginity 30 years after the fact, redundant.
