I won't be surprised if these cretins are part of organised crime and in bed with those who were supposed to deal with them.

These charges are totally wrong if none

“The eight will face charges of murder, attempted murder, possession of illegal ammunition and firearms. We cannot rule out the possibility of more charges, including conspiracy to commit a crime,” he said.

It's separate charges, they were arrested before they could commit the specific crime they have planned, that's where the conspiracy to commit a crime comes from.
