Splitting a folder containing different files into subfolders

I have a folder with 4000 (*3) files like

Code:

gr_q4_gb-1.anc
gr_q4_gb-1.anc_cdr_st.txt 
gr_q4_gb-1.anc_cdr_tr.txt
gr_q4_gb-2.anc
gr_q4_gb-2.anc_cdr_st.txt 
gr_q4_gb-2.anc_cdr_tr.txt
gr_q4_gb-3.anc
gr_q4_gb-3.anc_cdr_st.txt 
gr_q4_gb-3.anc_cdr_tr.txt
.
.
gr_q4_gb-4000.anc
gr_q4_gb-4000.anc_cdr_st.txt 
gr_q4_gb-4000.anc_cdr_tr.txt

I want to split this into 150 subfolders. The folder containg 3 types of related files, for example gr_q4_gb-2.anc, gr_q4_gb-2.anc_cdr_st.txt and gr_q4_gb-2.anc_cdr_tr.txt are related and shoud go into a same folder. Roughly every subfolder would have 27 (*3) files.
