NCATwo people who smuggled cannabis of £ 9 meter from Manchester to Northern Ireland, hidden in a wooden floor and put in jail.
Manchester’s 26 -year -old Chinese citizens cultivated large canbis crops to 32 -year -old Yudong Oyng and Gary Manas and used heavy cargo vehicles (HGV) to transport it by ferry.
According to the National Crime Agency (NCA), men targeted northern Ireland because they knew that they could charge the premium price.
The floor was hollowed out to make a void where the pair can hide drugs before transport in the palette.
Hon was arrested by NCA officials in February 2022 and Ouyang was arrested in December 2023.
Both convicted the conspiracy to supply Class B in Manchester Crown Court.
Mann was sentenced to three years and one month in jail and Oyang got three years and six months.
NCAAbout 40 delivery in Ni
The NCA said that the men sent messages to Mandarin between June 2019 and February 2020 and discussed the canbis, warehouse rent and traveled to North Ireland.
Translations revealed that one of men wrote: “I put it [drug] I could not smell money on me, not in the car, so smelling dogs. ,
NCA investigators found that there was 38 delivery from Manchester to Belfast over that nine months period.
The internal palettes of the floor were hollowed out to make a zero, where they could hide drugs before organizing shipping in northern Ireland using a valid shipping agent that was unaware of cannabis.
NCA‘Major players in supply operations’
The NCA said that it is believed that 50 kg of cannabis was transferred to each delivery.
The evidence of the phone sent Ouyang regular canbis, canbis forms or his selfie pictures to the fields.
Their fingers and an invoice in their name were found in a cannabis field, which was published as part of the operation.
NCA Operations Manager Barry Vinal described men as “major players” in large -scale cannabis supply operations.
“This organized crime group targeted northern Ireland as their market, where she knew her drugs would attract a premium price,” she said.
“They tried to legalize their operations, but investigators highlighted their huge communication and movements, showing that they often take back the palettes in England to reuse them for further imports.”
