We all know why those boys were arrested , it's because they were black and the police had no leads
I hate to burst your bubble Sludgey but the Actie's were quite big drug dealers back in the day (allegedly). I take it as a Bridgend (?) boy you never had any dealings with them? I knew Ron Actie when I was a teenager. Him and his cousin John were a pair of aggressive bullying thugs. Nothing like today's drug dealers of course, but they had a very scary crew to back them up. Woe betides anyone who sold ganga in Cardiff without their "permission". The police were after them and saw this murder of way of putting them away and taking them off the streets. All totally wrong the way the Old Bill went around things, of course. Very, very wrong. Sometimes however, if you play with fire you get burnt....very, very badly in this case. Oh, and the police did have leads, but chose to ignore them
