£50k heroin and crack haul lands dealer in prison

An estimated £50,000-worth of heroin and crack cocaine has been taken off the streets in Cannock and Lichfield following the sentencing of a drug dealer.

Mohammed Rahman, 41, of Walsall, has been jailed for five-years-and-six-months at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on Friday (29 May) after he admitted three counts of being concerned in the supply of heroin, two counts of being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine, one count of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class A – heroin and one count of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class A – crack cocaine.

We found out that Rahman had been running a drugs line that was actively trying to sell the drugs to people in Cannock, Lichfield, Burntwood and Rugeley.

Officers from our major and organised crime proactive team turned up at his door in September last year to arrest him.

At the time, he had already been arrested and released under investigation previously for drug supply offences where officers had seized large amounts of crack and heroin.

Faced with our evidence, Rahman admitted a string of offences at an earlier court hearing and has now been jailed.
