Three Men Jailed for Drug Offences in Bradford

Monday, 1 November 2021 09:45

Three men have been jailed after they pleaded guilty to a conspiracy to supply Class A drugs. A forth received a suspended jail term for his involvement as a street dealer in the chain.

Fareekh Ejaz, Haamed Ejaz and Daniel Baldwin were sentenced to a total of 21 years & 4 months years at Bradford Crown Court on Friday 29th October 2021.

The investigation began in May 2018, when police stopped a car in Shipley after it had been seen to be involved in a suspected drugs transaction.

A search of the car found a quantity of Class A drugs and its occupants were arrested.

Baldwin, who was a passenger in the vehicle, was found to be in possession of a mobile phone which had more than 600 text messages from Fareekh Ejaz, on running a drugs operation – including tactics such as recruiting street-level dealers, pricing of drugs, and expanding the operation to different areas of Bradford. Fareekh EJAZ was a serving prisoner at the time, already convicted of drugs offences

A search of Baldwins flat resulted in the seizures of a substantial amount of Class A drugs, cutting agents and articles used to prepare crack and heroin for street sale.

Further enquiries led to the discovery of Haamed Ejaz’s involvement with the conspiracy and the arrest of Kamran Mahmood-Parsons, who was recruited as a street runner and driver.

Fareekh Ejaz, aged 31, of Tower Road in Shipley, was sentenced to 9 years

Daniel Baldwin, aged 29, of Shirley Street, Shipley, was given 7 years

Haamed Ejaz, aged 30, of Mile Oak Road, Rotherham, was jailed for 5.4 years.

Kamran Mahmood-Parsons, aged 26, of Gillroyd Rise, Bradford, received 21 month sentence suspended for 2 years.

Speaking after sentencing, Detective Chief Inspector Andy Farrell, said:

“This investigation highlighted a group of individuals who collectively conspired and operated a drug dealing network targeting several areas of Bradford and Aire Valley.

“Even though Fareekh Ejaz had been previously convicted of drug dealing, he was continuing to control and work the operation with his brother Haamed and Baldwin, using an illicit mobile phone, with Mahmood-Parsons used as a delivery man.

“The Programme Precision Team at Bradford is committed to disrupting the activities of those involved in serious and organised crime and working with partners to gather evidence so those involved can be brought before the courts and taken off the streets of West Yorkshire.”
