City of London Police shared photos of the drugs stashed inside a suitcase

City of London Police

More than £500,000 of cannabis has been seized during a police raid on a Hilton hotel in Hertfordshire.

City of London Police believe the drugs were being illegally smuggled into the UK from America to be sold across the Square Mile and parts of London.

Detectives arrested two men and a woman at the four-star Hilton London Watford near the M1, seized multiple strains of hybrid Californian cannabis and around £5,000 in cash on April 9.

Pictures of the haul, shared by the police, show large vacuum packed bags of Class B drugs stashed inside a suitcase at the hotel on Elton Way.

Detective Superintendent Richard Waight, City of London Police said: “This is a significant haul in our fight against the illegal trafficking and supply of drugs in the City and across London.

“Drugs in London severely impacts our communities, drives violence and organised crime and can lead to vulnerable people being exploited.

“City of London Police are committed to bringing organised crime groups to justice and making our streets safer.”

Luke French, 35, of Moat Lane, Birmingham, and Joanne Parkes, 47, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday Apil 10, charged with fraudulent evasion of a prohibition on the importation of Class B drugs and possessing cannabis with intent to supply.

Parkes, of Benedon Road, Birmingham, is also accused of possession of criminal property.

Roberto Martinez, 32, of Huntingdon Park, California, is charged with importation.

All three were remanded in custody until a hearing at Inner London Crown Court on Wednesday, May 8.

Fuck ur cali shit I got my own 

[Slippy One]

Imagine how cool you’d need to be bringing that lot through customs!  

 

unlikely though, probably Albanian slave weed with cali stickers on it.

@Slippy One almost definitely, 95% of the cali weed round my way comes from some delightful Albanian gentlemen..

 

[Slippy One]

Every time I’m at my local grow shop there’s an Albanian or 2 in there filling up their van with dozens of 20L nutrient barrels.

Bloody Albanians 

[Hole in the clouds]

Wait I’m confused was this Roberto Martinez Albanian?

I doubt very much people are paying £800+ oz for uk Albanian. It makes sense  that if it’s not massive quantities this is how it’s coming in.

Sometimes the suitcase busts are sacrificial. Everyone's toob busy patting each others backs and taking selfies with the "haul" to notice the real haul going through.

 

Edit. Didn't read the op properly, thought they were caught at the airport.

Should that not be exportation?

 

These criminals must be thick as fuck, they know the bags go through an x ray machine right?
