Show's they weren't that smart afterall... The aim of starting a dirty business, should be to make your money quietly & eat your loot in peace. But it can never be successful if the leader has the propensity to flaunt.

They have been very successful to the extent of flaunting their wealth in this same Britain. This means they are not new comers.Just like the guy said, someone was not properly settled, hence the betrayal.

Explorers:
Seventeen gang members have been jailed for 117 years after undercover police made Britain's biggest land based cocaine siezure in a dramatic swoop on the M6.

Helicopter footage shows the moment drug kingpin Jamie Simpson, 31, was arrested on the motorway near Knutsford, Cheshire, after police vehicles surrounded his Ford Transit.

Officers found 186 kilos of high purity cocaine worth an estimated £20million, hidden under the floor of the van, as well as in the passenger seat and stuffed inside boxes.

The raid was part of a covert police investigation called Operation Dreadnought into Warrington based organised crime groups lead by Simpson and Jamie Oldroyd.

Cheshire Police said the 'gangster lifestyles' led by the two ringleaders and gang members led to their arrests, as they flaunted their wealth.

What's with the intense itch to flaunt wealth by poor people who turned rich suddenly. Why can't u just lie low,invest in legit businesses and live within ur income for 5 years before flaunting...or flaunt abroad(Dubai businesses,resorts and the likes)... Why the overpowering urge to show 'that u have arrived'

Naija yahoo boys are good victims of this SWIFIS (Sudden Wealth Itchy Finger Syndrome) or FLATUGECAS (Flaunt till u Get Caught Syndrome)
I think sudden wealth robs them of the ability to rationalize. Sadly, anytime I see them caught, I wonder too

As bad as it is, i want to believe these guys were snitched on. Either by an undercover (as stated) or an insider. This is why they will be going down alone. From the look of things, they probably are middle men. Someone is supplying them and someone is buying from them. Why hasn't the undercovering cover them too. Sometimes you just wonder if happenings in world are not being scripted.

Detail surrounding der arrest so interesting.

Their life style led to der arrest

ie dey flaunt der wealth and police went on under cover investigation. Hence des big catch

But here in nig u flaunt wealth dey arrest u immediately and charge u for no concrete evidence, after 3 months of time wasting in court case gets thrown out

Criminal returns to biz like d boss
