Operation Julie

In March 1977 the largest LSD bust in history cracked a drugs ring based near Tregaron. Six million tabs of LSD were recovered by the police and 120 people were arrested throughout the UK and France. Stashes of LSD worth £100 million were also unearthed and £800,000 in money was discovered hidden in Swiss bank accounts. Eventually 17 defendants were jailed for a total of 130 years in the wake of the investigation code named Operation Julie.

The history of this astonoshing drugs raid is written by Welsh author, Lyn Ebenezer. A journalist at the time of the case itself Lyn includes new information never released before based on interviews with many of the men involved.
