The Chief Monk received information the pair were acting in a manner not becoming of a monk and there was a suspicion the pair were attempting to recruit fellow monks to sell class 1 drugs on their behalf. Both were removed from the Monk-hood but continued to appear at the Temple on a daily basis and were still trying to recruit monks as drug dealers.
