-..lies...	0:00:10	0:00:12
-..deceit...	0:00:12	0:00:14
-..violence.	0:00:15	0:00:17
-Every criminal case is a distinct -challenge for the detective.	0:00:17	0:00:21
-To discover the truth, -they need patience and curiosity.	0:00:24	0:00:29
-Forty years ago, one of the biggest -drugs investigations in Britain...	0:00:38	0:00:43
-..unmasked a gang who were producing -LSD for a global market...	0:00:43	0:00:47
-..from rural Wales.	0:00:47	0:00:49
-Tonight, I'll talk to the detectives -who worked covertly on the case.	0:00:53	0:00:57
-We had cameras and binoculars.	0:00:58	0:01:01
-Nothing posh like they have today.	0:01:01	0:01:04
-I'll hear about the effect the -investigation had on their lives.	0:01:04	0:01:08
-Someone pulled up in a car -and shot my lounge window out.	0:01:09	0:01:12
-Bristol, March 1978.	0:01:32	0:01:34
-A team of detectives -were celebrating.	0:01:35	0:01:37
-They had succeeded in smashing -an LSD drugs ring.	0:01:40	0:01:43
-The investigation was called -Operation Julie...	0:01:50	0:01:53
-..after one of the detectives -on the team.	0:01:53	0:01:56
-For me, the story starts -in rural West Wales.	0:02:17	0:02:20
-It was home to one of the biggest -LSD factories in the world.	0:02:20	0:02:24
-In the 1970s, LSD had become -a very popular drug.	0:02:29	0:02:33
-Police forces across Britain -were trying to catch the gang...	0:02:33	0:02:37
-..who were producing and -distributing thousands of tablets.	0:02:37	0:02:41
-One suspect was Richard Kemp, -originally from Bedford.	0:02:43	0:02:49
-After a road accident near -Machynlleth in the spring of 1975...	0:02:50	0:02:54
-..an inspection of his car revealed -a key piece of evidence.	0:02:55	0:02:59
-When they examined -the red Range Rover...	0:03:03	0:03:05
-..police found a scrap of paper torn -into six pieces.	0:03:06	0:03:09
-When they put the pieces back -together, they could clearly read...	0:03:09	0:03:13
-..the name of the chemical, -hydrazine hydrate on the paper...	0:03:14	0:03:18
-..a key ingredient -in the manufacture of LSD.	0:03:18	0:03:21
-By sheer luck, the detectives had -found the first piece of evidence...	0:03:26	0:03:31
-..that would lead to the breaking up -of the LSD ring.	0:03:31	0:03:35
-A covert investigation -was launched in March 1976.	0:03:39	0:03:43
-Twenty-four detectives from across -Britain were chosen to work on it...	0:03:44	0:03:48
-..under the supervision of Detective -Chief Inspector, Dick Lee.	0:03:48	0:03:53
-Among them was a police officer -from Llanelli.	0:03:53	0:03:56
-There was a great emphasis -on the fact...	0:03:58	0:04:04
-..that no-one must know -what we were doing.	0:04:05	0:04:11
-That it was strictly confidential.	0:04:11	0:04:14
-Although they didn't know the amount -of work that was in front of them...	0:04:19	0:04:23
-..one police officer from Barry...	0:04:23	0:04:26
-..felt that it was his personal and -moral duty to undertake this work.	0:04:26	0:04:31
-We're part of a team -that will take out of society...	0:04:31	0:04:34
-..an evil that my children -will not have to face.	0:04:34	0:04:37
-I knew what LSD could do -and if I was able in any way...	0:04:38	0:04:42
-..to rid us of the evil -that they might have to face...	0:04:42	0:04:47
-..then I was prepared -to go to the lengths.	0:04:48	0:04:52
-In a fortnight, they were trained -to undertake covert surveillance.	0:05:00	0:05:04
-And how to follow them on foot -or by car.	0:05:05	0:05:08
-The first target, was the driver -of the Range Rover, Richard Kemp.	0:05:11	0:05:15
-He had moved to Tregaron -with his partner.	0:05:16	0:05:18
-It was here in Penlleinau...	0:05:23	0:05:25
-..that Richard Kemp lived with his -partner, Christine Bott.	0:05:25	0:05:29
-Kemp was a talented English chemist -and Bott was a doctor.	0:05:29	0:05:33
-They moved here from London -in the early 1970s.	0:05:33	0:05:36
-To the community, they appeared -to be living a quiet life.	0:05:36	0:05:40
-I didn't see her very day, -but I saw her occasionally.	0:05:45	0:05:49
-When I passed by, -they were often in the garden.	0:05:49	0:05:52
-They spent a lot of time -in the garden.	0:05:52	0:05:55
-The detectives kept the house under -surveillance 24 hours a day.	0:05:57	0:06:02
-They began to scrutinise -the couple's movements.	0:06:02	0:06:05
-After a period of surveillance -of Richard Kemp...	0:06:13	0:06:16
-..and his partner, Christine Bott...	0:06:16	0:06:19
-..police noticed that they travelled -from their home near Tregaron...	0:06:19	0:06:23
-..to Plas Llysyn in Carno.	0:06:23	0:06:25
-An American named Paul Arnaboldi -owned Plas Llysyn.	0:06:26	0:06:31
-The team began to suspect that -the house was being used...	0:06:31	0:06:35
-..as a laboratory to produce LSD.	0:06:35	0:06:37
-The task for Dai Rees -and his partner, Terry Stokes...	0:06:38	0:06:42
-..was to keep the house -under surveillance from a caravan.	0:06:43	0:06:47
-The caravan was in the lane behind -us here in the corner of the park.	0:06:47	0:06:52
-We put it in the corner -in that position...	0:06:52	0:06:56
-..so that we could see -the house clearly...	0:06:56	0:07:01
-..and we could see people -coming and going from the house.	0:07:01	0:07:05
-We had to stay in the caravan -all day.	0:07:08	0:07:11
-Then another shift would take over -in the evening.	0:07:11	0:07:15
-We had to watch the house -through a small gap in the curtains.	0:07:15	0:07:19
-They told local people that they -were surveyors searching for water.	0:07:22	0:07:26
-They sent letters with a Llanelli -postmark to themselves...	0:07:27	0:07:31
-..in the hope that the postman -would spread their story.	0:07:31	0:07:35
-It amazes me now -that no-one came up to us...	0:07:38	0:07:40
-..and said, -"What on earth are you doing here?"	0:07:41	0:07:45
-But nobody did.	0:07:45	0:07:46
-According to the farmer next door...	0:07:50	0:07:53
-..the community swallowed the story -about the men in the caravan.	0:07:53	0:07:58
-They arrived overnight -and no-one took any notice.	0:07:58	0:08:02
-The words Tyson Surveyors -was written on the caravan.	0:08:02	0:08:05
-It was an odd thing -to be written on there...	0:08:06	0:08:08
-..and the curtains -were always closed.	0:08:09	0:08:11
-I still remember that.	0:08:11	0:08:13
-One night in May, -knowing that the place was empty...	0:08:19	0:08:22
-..the two detectives were ordered -to break into the house.	0:08:23	0:08:26
-We entered through a window -that was open at the back.	0:08:32	0:08:35
-We were very scared.	0:08:39	0:08:41
-I feel scared even now -just thinking about it.	0:08:41	0:08:45
-As they explored further...	0:08:47	0:08:49
-..they noticed that the lock -on the cellar door looked new.	0:08:50	0:08:53
-This is part of the cellar.	0:08:56	0:08:57
-It goes back further than this -underneath the house.	0:08:59	0:09:04
-The cellar had been whitewashed -from top to bottom...	0:09:09	0:09:13
-..but was completely empty.	0:09:13	0:09:15
-So they took swabs from the walls -and shelves.	0:09:15	0:09:19
-On the way out through this door...	0:09:22	0:09:24
-..I said to Terry, -who was with me...	0:09:24	0:09:28
-..that it would be a good idea to -take a sample from this drain here.	0:09:31	0:09:35
-So I put my hands in...	0:09:36	0:09:39
-..and pulled out a lump of earth -and a dead mole.	0:09:39	0:09:45
-After sending the samples -to the laboratory...	0:09:47	0:09:50
-..forensic tests confirmed the -presence of LSD on the swabs...	0:09:50	0:09:54
-..and on the mole.	0:09:54	0:09:56
-It proved without a doubt...	0:09:57	0:10:00
-..that a laboratory -had been based here...	0:10:00	0:10:04
-..and had been producing LSD -for quite some time.	0:10:04	0:10:08
-To be perfectly honest...	0:10:09	0:10:12
-..I felt very proud to have been -part of this investigation.	0:10:12	0:10:16
-But, at that time, -no-one was arrested.	0:10:18	0:10:21
-The team suspected that there was -a much deeper network here...	0:10:22	0:10:26
-..and that they had only -scratched the surface...	0:10:27	0:10:30
-..when they found the LSD lab -in Carno.	0:10:30	0:10:33
-At the end of June 1976...	0:10:36	0:10:38
-..two detectives moved into -this cottage near Tregaron...	0:10:38	0:10:42
-..across the valley -from Penlleiniau.	0:10:42	0:10:45
-It was the home of chemist, -Richard Kemp.	0:10:45	0:10:48
-There were microphones installed in -the window sills of his property.	0:10:49	0:10:53
-My job, then, was to run a cable -from our cottage, up the hillside...	0:10:55	0:11:01
-..where I then installed -a miniature speech receiver...	0:11:01	0:11:05
-..to pick up any conversations -we could achieve from Kemp's house.	0:11:05	0:11:11
-The first try was aborted somewhat -by the sheep eating the cable...	0:11:14	0:11:18
-..which meant I had to run it -all over again.	0:11:18	0:11:21
-On the second try, my receiver -was able to pick it up.	0:11:21	0:11:24
-The Operation Julie team watched -Penlleiniau behind me...	0:11:29	0:11:33
-..from these hills for months.	0:11:33	0:11:35
-They took turns watching -the inhabitants...	0:11:35	0:11:38
-..and they listened -to every conversation...	0:11:38	0:11:41
-..hoping to discover a connection -to a gang in London.	0:11:41	0:11:44
-But while the detectives were -watching and eavesdropping...	0:11:45	0:11:49
-..Christine Bott flew -to Switzerland...	0:11:50	0:11:52
-..buying her ticket with cash.	0:11:53	0:11:55
-In Zurich, she put 16,000 -in a safety deposit box.	0:11:55	0:11:59
-But, were the couple about to flee?	0:12:03	0:12:05
-Did the drugs ring stretch -beyond UK borders?	0:12:05	0:12:09
-Detectives were running out of time -to destroy the entire network...	0:12:10	0:12:14
-..before their covert investigation -was discovered.	0:12:14	0:12:18

-In May 1976, the Operation Julie -team discovered an LSD lab...	0:12:29	0:12:35
-..at an isolated mansion in Carno.	0:12:35	0:12:37
-But large bits of the jigsaw -were still missing.	0:12:42	0:12:45
-Two undercover detectives moved into -the village of Llanddewi Brefi...	0:12:48	0:12:53
-..about fifty miles from Carno.	0:12:53	0:12:55
-They were to observe the movements -of a certain Alston Hughes.	0:12:56	0:12:59
-Known as Smiles, he was suspected of -being one of the main distributors.	0:12:59	0:13:04
-Smiles would often come in -for a drink.	0:13:04	0:13:08
-He used to buy drinks for everyone.	0:13:08	0:13:10
-He did things like that.	0:13:11	0:13:13
-That's why he was so popular -with the youngsters.	0:13:13	0:13:19
-This is the detective -who was given the task...	0:13:19	0:13:22
-..of making friends with Smiles.	0:13:23	0:13:25
-Stephen Bentley from Hampshire -Police grew a beard...	0:13:25	0:13:28
-..and painted his van so he could -fit in with the local hippies.	0:13:28	0:13:32
-He lived a lie -in order to be accepted.	0:13:33	0:13:35
-Smiles was a wary character.	0:13:37	0:13:40
-It wasn't easy to persuade him that -we weren't undercover cops.	0:13:40	0:13:44
-But we got on well with him.	0:13:47	0:13:49
-We visited his home on many -occasions where we played cards...	0:13:49	0:13:53
-..drank a lot of beer...	0:13:53	0:13:55
-..drank liquor, smoked a lot of -weed, smoked a lot of hash.	0:13:55	0:13:59
-Eventually, as we got to know him -more and more...	0:13:59	0:14:03
-..even cocaine was produced.	0:14:03	0:14:05
-The deception worked.	0:14:06	0:14:07
-The detective was accepted -into the circle of friends.	0:14:08	0:14:12
-In November, -without Smiles knowing...	0:14:12	0:14:15
-..other detectives followed him -to a pub near Lampeter...	0:14:15	0:14:18
-..after listening in -to one of his phone calls.	0:14:18	0:14:21
-One day, -as the police were listening...	0:14:21	0:14:24
-..they heard Smiles arranging to -meet a man called Russ Spencely...	0:14:24	0:14:29
-..who said that he had over 50,000 -tablets ready for him.	0:14:29	0:14:33
-They met here at the Ram...	0:14:33	0:14:35
-..where Spencely handed Smiles -a white plastic bag in the pub.	0:14:35	0:14:39
-But what the pair didn't know...	0:14:39	0:14:41
-..was that there were undercover -detectives watching them.	0:14:41	0:14:45
-But again, the detectives decided -to wait, so no-one was arrested.	0:14:58	0:15:03
-The team suspected that there was -a second factory somewhere...	0:15:08	0:15:11
-..because there were two different -types of LSD on the streets.	0:15:11	0:15:15
-In London, another man came -to the attention of detectives.	0:15:16	0:15:20
-Henry Barclay Todd.	0:15:20	0:15:23
-Dai Rees was given the task...	0:15:23	0:15:25
-..of watching Todd's Kensington -house from this van on the street.	0:15:26	0:15:30
-There was a periscope -on top of the van...	0:15:31	0:15:35
-..so I could sit in a chair, -turn it quietly and keep watch.	0:15:35	0:15:41
-I could take photos if necessary.	0:15:41	0:15:45
-After watching his movements -for six months...	0:15:47	0:15:51
-..they noticed that Todd regularly -visited this house...	0:15:51	0:15:55
-..in Hampton Wick in the company -of a man named Andy Munro.	0:15:55	0:16:00
-Munro was a chemist.	0:16:01	0:16:03
-The two were observed carrying -scientific equipment...	0:16:03	0:16:06
-..and chemicals into the house.	0:16:06	0:16:08
-These details were accumulating -every day...	0:16:11	0:16:16
-..until the jigsaw was complete.	0:16:16	0:16:19
-The last piece was the big bust.	0:16:20	0:16:23
-After watching them covertly -for 13 months...	0:16:25	0:16:28
-..the police were now ready -to bring the gang to court.	0:16:29	0:16:32
-But arresting the whole gang at the -same time would be impossible...	0:16:35	0:16:40
-..for the Operation Julie team.	0:16:40	0:16:42
-The timing of the raid was key.	0:16:42	0:16:44
-In West Wales, -a group of local police officers...	0:16:47	0:16:51
-..were called to a top secret -meeting in the middle of the night.	0:16:51	0:16:55
-We soon realized -how big the operation was.	0:17:01	0:17:05
-There were police everywhere.	0:17:05	0:17:08
-Even the local police didn't know -anything...	0:17:12	0:17:15
-..because it was top secret -until the very last minute.	0:17:15	0:17:19
-This was one of the biggest raids...	0:17:21	0:17:25
-..in Britain at the time.	0:17:25	0:17:28
-It was the biggest raid we would -ever undertake in our careers.	0:17:28	0:17:32
-It wasn't until afterwards -that we realized how big it was.	0:17:32	0:17:36
-On March 26, 1977, -at 6.00am exactly...	0:17:41	0:17:45
-..800 police officers targeted 70 -addresses across Britain and France.	0:17:46	0:17:51
-Within an hour, -over 100 people had been arrested...	0:17:51	0:17:55
-..and were on their way -to Swindon Police Station.	0:17:55	0:17:58
-The 4,000 pieces of evidence -filled the gym.	0:18:00	0:18:04
-At Smiles' house, -they found 14,000 in a cereal box.	0:18:06	0:18:11
-In a dung heap in the garden of Kemp -and Bott in Penlleiniau...	0:18:14	0:18:18
-..they discovered -over a million LSD tablets.	0:18:18	0:18:22
-They also raided this house -in the Dordogne area of France...	0:18:23	0:18:27
-..which belonged -to one of the dealers.	0:18:27	0:18:30
-In the office, -there was valuable paperwork...	0:18:30	0:18:34
-..exposing the entire network.	0:18:34	0:18:36
-Dai Rees was one of those who -trawled through evidence there.	0:18:36	0:18:40
-There were bank receipts -from all over the world.	0:18:42	0:18:47
-From New Zealand to the Americas, -Australia and Hong Kong.	0:18:47	0:18:53
-It was incredible to think -that I'd found such treasure.	0:18:53	0:18:58
-Back in Swindon, the team were -collecting the material...	0:19:03	0:19:06
-..that would prove their case.	0:19:07	0:19:09
-Armed police were brought in -to protect the evidence.	0:19:09	0:19:12
-They had a total of over 6.5 million -LSD tablets...	0:19:14	0:19:18
-..over a 1 million in cash, shares -and a one kilo gold bar.	0:19:18	0:19:23
-After digging deeper -and taking up the floor...	0:19:28	0:19:31
-..of Kemp's kitchen near Tregaron, -they found three jars of pure LSD...	0:19:31	0:19:36
-..worth 100 million.	0:19:36	0:19:39
-In March 1978, -at Bristol Crown Court...	0:19:47	0:19:50
-..fifteen of the ringleaders -were sentenced...	0:19:50	0:19:53
-..to a total of 120 years in prison.	0:19:53	0:19:56
-Richard Kemp, the chemist -from Tregaron got thirteen years.	0:19:58	0:20:04
-His partner, Christine Bott, -got nine years.	0:20:05	0:20:07
-Alston Hughes or Smiles, -was sentenced to eight years.	0:20:08	0:20:11
-The Operation Julie team -were highly praised...	0:20:21	0:20:24
-..for their work by the judge.	0:20:24	0:20:26
-But the two and a half year -investigation...	0:20:28	0:20:31
-..had been a huge strain -on the detectives.	0:20:31	0:20:34
-And for this man, keeping the secret -had been a great burden.	0:20:37	0:20:41
-The only person I ever told -was my wife.	0:20:42	0:20:45
-There are times when I've cried -to my wife...	0:20:47	0:20:49
-..with the pure stress -of the operation.	0:20:49	0:20:52
-As the detectives smashed -the network...	0:20:53	0:20:56
-..David Redrup himself -became a target.	0:20:56	0:20:59
-Someone pulled up in a car -and shot my lounge window out.	0:21:01	0:21:04
-As a result, we had to have armed -police outside the house...	0:21:04	0:21:08
-..for several weeks afterwards.	0:21:08	0:21:10
-Both looking after the house -and taking the kids to school.	0:21:11	0:21:14
-Stephen Bentley has created a new -life for himself once again.	0:21:15	0:21:19
