The group smuggled marijuana into Great Britain for a long time, criminal investigators mapped a period of roughly one year. The National Anti-Narcotics Center (NPC) reported on the arrest of the members of the group a year ago. At the time, she stated that the group sent shipments of the drug regularly, at least once every 14 days.
The value of the shipments was multiplied by exports and reached around 20 British pounds (roughly 580 crowns) per gram of dry marijuana in Britain. There was up to a kilogram of dry matter in the shipment. According to criminal investigators, the group operated in northern Bohemia, growing marijuana in nurseries, then processing and selling it. Part of the grown marijuana ended up with buyers in the Czech Republic.
