What is opium gang?

The Opium Gang was a criminal organization that operated in London during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The gang was involved in the smuggling, distribution, and selling of opium, which was a popular recreational drug at the time.

The gang had ties to Chinese and Indian drug traffickers, and operated through a network of secret opium dens located in the seedy districts of London. These dens were used for the consumption of opium and other illicit activities, and served as a meeting place for members of the gang.

The Opium Gang was known for its violent tactics and ruthless behavior, often resorting to intimidation and murder to protect their illegal operations. They were also involved in other criminal activities such as prostitution, gambling, and extortion.

The activities of the Opium Gang eventually caught the attention of law enforcement, and several members of the gang were arrested and prosecuted for their crimes. The gang's influence began to wane in the early 20th century with the increased crackdown on drug trafficking and organized crime in London.
