Walsall; Two drug smugglers from Walsall have been jailed for 18 years each after smuggling £2.5 million worth of heroin into the country using industrial mincing machines.
Asghar Khan, aged 48, from Eastbourne Street and Rashad Mahmood, aged 52, from Reedswood Lane, were jailed at Birmingham Crown Court for playing their part in the elaborate drug importing ruse.
The court heard how the pair imported heroin into the UK from Pakistan using a legitimate cargo company which sent the parcels by air freight.
Border Force officers discovered 20 kilos of heroin hidden in three separate consignments which forensic examinations revealed was 62% pure.
This is more than double the usual street purity of the drug found in the UK – and had a potential street value of more than £2.5 million.
NCA officers uncovered the sophisticated scheme by Mahmood and Khan to import large quantities of high-purity heroin during between September 2014 to April 2015 in which at least four consignments were sent to the UK. Two of the drugs consignments were intercepted at Birmingham airport.
