Title: Big Canada bust
Post by: stemcell on December 15, 2012, 04:36 pm
Im posting this in hopes its not someone from here, just a heads up:

EDMONTON - Two men have been charged in a bust that saw more than $750,000 in drugs seized from a home in a new luxury development in Fort McMurray. The bust included large amounts of steroids, prescription pills and gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), better known as the ‘date-rape drug.’

Richard Cosman, 31, and Jeromy Laporte, 30, are charged with eight counts each of possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking, and one count each of possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000.

RCMP say the Wood Buffalo detachment’s Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit executed a search warrant on Dec. 12 on a home on Killdeer Way, an area filled with large homes, many of which are for sale for $1-million or more.

During the search, police found more than three kilograms of cocaine worth more than $300,000; 993 grams of ecstasy worth nearly $200,000; three litres of GHB; 400 grams each of marijuana and hashish; more than 1,000 prescription pills; and anabolic steroids in a number of forms, including 800 bottles of injectable steroid and human growth hormone.

Officers also found more than $46,000 in cash and drug trafficking paraphernalia. A vehicle was also seized.

On the coke, they probably calculate it at $100 per gram x 3000 grams = $300K.  I suppose they value it as if it were sold in the smallest common street quantity.   But that's just a guess.

Yup.  And $200 per gram of MDMA.  Ha.

I highly doubt they are going to waste.  I wouldn't be surprised if they were diverted from whatever evidence locker they are stashed in, and sold back on the streets.

Cops (some, not all), like to do drugs and take roids and shit.  Nothing blows off the steam of working the beat and working out in the gym, like a night binge drinking at the bar with a quarter oz of Canada's finest fishscale cocaine and a handful of loose women.

I've always wondered about that, MC. If an evidence locker is packed after a big bust, it's gotta be so easy to sneak some stuff out for personal use and/or distribution. Who's going to notice is one of the 50 plastic bags full of roxies goes missing....

The drugs also get reused to establish street cred, trust or garner favors from informants during undercover operations.  Cops are fucking dirty sneaky bitches.

Big drug bust? Sorry to spoil the party but i'll put a few links here from some recent activity here in my neck of the woods.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/story/2012/04/19/montreal-halifax-hash-drug-bust.html             $860 million

http://globalmontreal.smdg.ca/more+charges+laid+after+largest+drug+bust+in+saskatchewan+history/6442507969/story.html    $16.5 million

http://blogs.montrealgazette.com/2012/11/02/cops-crooks-and-cocaine-the-story-behind-quebecs-mega-drug-bust/     $50 million in 5 months!

Canada is on the map when it comes to the drug game. Here's a recent new show on the Montreal mafia for anyone who might be interested.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCuKxw7_6sk

This show came out about 7 months ago, since then the mobster they were talking about in the show has been released from prison, came back to Montreal and I think there have been 6 or so mafia hits since he came back, I figure he's taking care of business. Someone should have been looking out for him and his family while he was locked up, instead they killed his father and son.  BIG MISTAKE!
