UK jails Vietnamese gang for farming cannabis

December 15, 2018 by vnexpress Leave a Comment

A cannabis farm in England. Photo by Reuters/Kham A U.K. court Wednesday sentenced 16 Vietnamese nationals to prison for running illegal cannabis farms worth $1.2 million. According to the indictment, the gang, 11 men and five women, used false identities and fraudulent documents to rent 21 homes in small towns in the Lancashire County before turning them into cannabis farms and raking in hundreds of thousands of British pounds from the illegal business. Some of the gang members presented themselves as a couple with a new-born child to gain their landlords’ confidence. Later, they turned the rented properties into cannabis farms, the Lancashire Evening Post reported. In March this year, police officers in Lancashire raided a number of properties leased by the gang members as part of their investigation to crack down on the large-scale drug ring. Police also seized cannabis worth around £1 million ($1.2 million) and $315,639 in cash. Police said the operation was run by … [Read more...] about UK jails Vietnamese gang for farming cannabis

Vietnamese cannabis gang jailed in the UK

December 12, 2018 by vietnamnews Leave a Comment

Viet Nam News PRESTON — Sixteen Vietnamese nationals who made billions of đồng growing illegal drugs in the United Kingdom have been jailed for more than 35 years. Police in Lancashire, in the North West of England, said the gang ran a ‘sophisticated cannabis farm operation’. Using false identities and fraudulent documents, they were able to rent dozens of properties and use them to grow cannabis. Senior members of the gang even posed as a couple with a new born child in a bid to make themselves more attractive to potential landlords. But once they moved in, they would turn the houses into cannabis farms using a sophisticated hydroponics system. The gang also employed ‘gardeners’ to visit the properties and tend to the crops. In March this year, police raided a number of properties leased by the gang members and seized cannabis worth around VNĐ30 billion. Detectives also found around VNĐ7.5 billion in cash.

Vietnamese Australian woman faces trial for running cannabis syndicate

November 13, 2018 by vnexpress Leave a Comment

The Newcastle Herald reported that Nga White, 44, was investigated by local authorities after a receipt from her nail and beauty salon was found in a cannabis dump site in the Wallsend suburb of Newcastle, New South Wales, in March last year. Detectives found that Nga owned or leased at least eight properties in the region. The properties were placed under surveillance from April to August last year. Police found seven Vietnamese men, deemed Nga’s "underlings" in the syndicate, cultivating large quantities of cannabis on the properties. Six of them were found to have come to Australia illegally. Last month, three of the seven men were arrested with 18 kilograms of cannabis by local police in Newcastle. A local house raid followed, and Nga was arrested. Nga appeared in the Newcastle District Court last Thursday. During her arraignment, she pleaded not guilty to charges of "directing the activities of a criminal group," "cultivating a large commercial quantity of cannabis," … [Read more...] about Vietnamese Australian woman faces trial for running cannabis syndicate

Five Vietnamese nationals in Australia part of $2.8mln cannabis operation

October 18, 2018 by vnexpress Leave a Comment

Hundreds of cannabis plants were found in six separate homes in the suburbs of Maitland, New South Wales during multiple raids in the area by local police in February, the Wednesday report said. Vuong Luu Quoc, Anh Quang Pham, Tuan Dac Trinh and Kim Phuong admitted in the Newcastle Local Court Wednesday to “crop sitting” the cannabis plants at homes in Tenambit, Heddon Greta and Morpeth in February. “Crop sitting” refers to the act of living inside homes while watering and keeping watch on cannabis plants grown there. Anh Thy Vu, wife of Quoc, pleaded guilty to "concealing a serious indictable offense" after the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) withdrew a charge of "cultivating a commercial quantity of a prohibited plant," quoted The Herald. She was said to not have been involved in the cultivation of the cannabis plants. Quoc and Pham pleaded guilty to “cultivating a commercial quantity of a prohibited plant.” Quoc, Pham, Trinh and Phuong will … [Read more...] about Five Vietnamese nationals in Australia part of $2.8mln cannabis operation

Canada becomes first major economy to legalise recreational cannabis

October 17, 2018 by vietnamnews Leave a Comment

Viet Nam News OTTAWA — Canada on Wednesday became the world’s first major economy to fully legalise cannabis, sparking celebrations as the nation embarked on the controversial experiment in drug policy. Throughout the country huge lines outside pot shops snaked around city blocks, cannabis flew off store shelves and government websites processed 100 pot orders per minute. Scores of customers braved the cold for hours outside Tweed, a pot boutique in St John’s, Newfoundland that opened at midnight, to buy their first grams (ounces) of legal cannabis. Ian Power said prior to its grand opening, he was happy to "make history" by being the first to legally buy pot in Canada, adding that he would frame those few grams rather than smoke them. "I’m elated. I’m so excited, I can’t stop smiling. I’m not cold. It’s freezing cold out, but I’m not cold," he said. In Cape Breton, platinum record-selling fiddler Ashley MacIsaac was among the … [Read more...] about Canada becomes first major economy to legalise recreational cannabis

Discovery of London cannabis farms raises child slavery fears

August 21, 2018 by vnexpress Leave a Comment

Experts raised the warning on Monday, after new figures emerged showing the scale of cultivation of the illegal drug. Police have found 314 illegal cannabis farms in the British capital since 2016, according to official data obtained by the London Evening Standard newspaper, the equivalent of one every two days. Experts say children are being trafficked from Vietnam and other countries to work in these farms, which are often located in residential properties, and that the scale of the problem has been vastly underestimated. “The high number of cannabis farms across London and trafficking of Vietnamese children to work in them is extremely worrying,” said Jakub Sobik, a spokesman for Anti-Slavery International. “Potentially thousands of children and young people are being trafficked from Vietnam and exploited by ruthless criminal gangs,” he said. Catherine Baker, policy officer at anti-child trafficking organization ECPAT U.K., said authorities often treated … [Read more...] about Discovery of London cannabis farms raises child slavery fears

Canada lawmakers vote to legalize cannabis

June 19, 2018 by vnexpress Leave a Comment

Canada is set to become the first G7 country to legalize cannabis after lawmakers on Monday passed a bill that would allow free consumption of the mind-altering drug. Passed by 205 votes to 82 in the House of Commons, the legislation must still pass the Senate - which could delay, but not block it - and receive royal assent by the governor general before becoming law, likely by September. Legalizing weed was a 2015 campaign promise of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has acknowledged smoking a joint with friends "five or six times" including since being elected as an MP. The Liberal government's pointman on the pot file, Bill Blair, said at the weekend it was "probably looking at a date of implementation somewhere toward the beginning of September, perhaps mid-September." Uruguay approved the recreational usage of marijuana five years ago and nine US states and the capital Washington have done so too, but Canada will be the first G7 country to take the step.
