I guess it wsn't so much the structure, Bingham just seemed a wee bit quieter than the through the tunnel Niddrie, so I suppose you thought if the people are no bad the houses are the same.

I'm not up on the value of those things, but i'd imagine it far higher than the £130K reported. Seemingly not. According to a recent telegraph article... Heroin has a street value of from £10-20 for a 1 to 2g bag. So at, say, 1g for £10, that’s £10,000 per kg. Cocaine has a lower end street value of £10 for 0.2g. So £50 per g, £50,000 per kg. Which comes to exactly £130,000 for the quantities the daily mail reference. Maybe the daily mail mail have done their sums off the same article. NB: I didn’t spent a great deal of time on this so could be well wide of the mark. Seems extreme measures for £130K, unless the quantity expressed to the daily mail was pre-cut and therefore more valuable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 On almost a daily basis we have this type of shooting. Also described by the police as targeted. These shootings are generally gang related, and unfortunately the experience here is that the retaliatory action occurs soon after. What has happened unfortunately are totally innocent persons have been killed in cases of mistaken identity, and also as a result of the shooters not understanding the velocity of their weapon, and how a bullet discharged has no idea what it is going to or should hit and on unfortunate again occasions it is a completely innocent and unrelated person. I have no idea what the situation with gangs and drugs is in Edinburgh, but it is really susprising how normal in a short period such incidents can become.

The main dealers will pick up a kilo of smack or coke for around £22k unless there has been drastic changes over the last 8 years. It it will be stamped on a couple of times before being sold on the street in £10 bags of smack or £40 gramme deals of coke. There is is huge money to be made all the way down to the end user.
