North Wales Police: Steroid gang jailed for more than 45 years - BBC News
A drugs gang that imported £2m of steroids from Asia have received jail sentences totalling more than 45 years.
Mold Crown Court heard that a "sophisticated operation" bought in raw steroids and planned to manufacture them at a plant in north Wales.
As well as finding stacks of parcels across several addresses, police believe the gang netted £1.2m in two years.
Among the 16-member gang was a 68-year-old with no previous convictions.
Judge Huw Rees said: "It is a hallmark of this case that it involves some people of previous good character and some mature people who have been tempted to make a greedy profit without thought for the consequences they were imposing on others."
