Drug dealer from Birmingham was found with more than a million pounds worth of heroin\u00a0in the boot of his car.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year Jahnger Ahmed was stopped by\u00a0officers on the motorway\u00a0travelling towards Birmingham.<\/p>\n
The 41-year-old must have been quaking in his boots as officers searched his vehicle on the busy M6.<\/p>\n
When officers searched the vehicle, they were left flabbergasted by a compartment inside the boot made from plywood it revealed a hiding place with two black canvas bags full of heroin.<\/p>\n
Officers found 19 packages of Heroin, which has a street value of \u00a31,775,000, with a wholesale value of around \u00a3344,000.<\/p>\n
Ahmed, of Torrey Grove in Bordesley Green, was sentenced to 11 years in prison at Birmingham Crown Court on Friday (13 April) for possession with intent to supply a Class A drug.<\/p>\n
A spokeswoman for\u00a0West Midlands Police\u00a0said: “He was stopped in his car by officers on the M6 motorway travelling towards Birmingham in January, after information linked his Volkswagen Passat car to the supply of controlled drugs.<\/p>\n
“On searching the car, officers became suspicious of an area in the boot which was found to be a sophisticated compartment made of plywood which was concealing two black canvas bags full of heroin.<\/p>\n
Leading the investigation, DC Chris Woodward from the Force CID team, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was a significant haul of heroin which no doubt would have ended up on the streets of the West Midlands.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt had the potential to cause widespread harm within communities in the Midlands. ”<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s a clear message, if we suspect you of being involved in illegal activity, we will get\u00a0you<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
