Episode: The chicken farmer, the ‘Triads’ , and the cannabis in the shed, Sam McBride reports
Description: When Sam McBride went investigating a massive cannabis operation in Hillsborough he was confronted by an angry poultry farmer, Clive Weir. Not only did Weir deny knowledge of the weed growing in his shed, he lambasted the PSNI for not catching the perpetrators. His denials seemed ridiculous and eventually he plead guilty. The PSNI said somebody approached Weir - a Chinese ‘Triad-like’ crime gang - and made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. Sam McBride joins Ciarán Dunbar to tell this unlikely story.  Hosted on Acast.
