Three men have been jailed for a total of more than 18 years after 1.3kg of class A drugs worth over £76,000 were found in a shopping bag in Bradford.
Yasar Fahad, Irfan Khan and Wasiq Khan all faced charges of possession with intent to supply heroin, crack cocaine and cocaine at Bradford Crown Court. Wasiq Khan was also charged with possession of criminal property.
The court heard how the trio were caught on the evening of 2 November last year when police were on mobile patrol in the Barkerend area of the city.
A shopping bag was found in a yard, containing more than £76,000 of drugs, some reaching a purity of 68 per cent, plus cutting agents, scales, a knife, a roll of plastic bags, a sieve, fork, latex gloves and napkins. Wasiq Khan was also found with a little over £416.
Fahad, of Pearson Street, off Leeds Road, had to receive a minimum seven-year sentence because of previous convictions. He was jailed for seven-and-a-half years.
Irfan Khan, of Warley Grove, Bradford Moor, was jailed for five years and eight months, while Wasiq Khan, of Fenby Grove, Bowling, was jailed for five years and six months.
