Two jailed after drugs production line found at home in Coventry

Cocaine and heroin worth up to £45,000 was found during a police raid



Two men have been jailed after a class A drugs production line was found during a police raid in Coventry.

The discovery was made when officers from West Midlands Police's regional organised crime unit swooped on a property in Hipswell Highway, Wyken, back in July 2018.

The raid came after the force received information and intelligence about what was happening at the house.

Cocaine and heroin worth up to £45,000 and cannabis were recovered, with police saying the kitchen area acted like a class A production line.

Akbar Ali and Juhel Ahmed, both from Coventry, were arrested and later charged with supplying class A drugs.

They both pleaded guilty to the charge and were sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court last week.

Ali, 31, of Burlington Road, Stoke, was jailed for seven years and 10 months, while 43-year-old Ahmed, of Ena Road, Foleshill, received six years and four months behind bars.
