Drug Raids and Firearms Bust Shake East Birmingham
Dozens of officers launched a major crackdown on December 3, storming 10 addresses in east Birmingham. Police hit suspected drug dens in Saltley and Shard End, seizing £130,000 worth of heroin and cannabis.
Cash was also recovered during a traffic stop on Soho Hill, with nearly £50,000 found in a car linked to the operation.
Brothers Charged Over Guns and Drugs
In a separate October incident, brothers Mohammed Deon Khalid, 23, and Mohammed Rehan Khalid from Ingleton Road were charged with conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and firearms after police uncovered a hoard of weapons in a Washwood Heath vehicle. The stash included a sub-machine pistol.
Three More Men Face Drug Supply Charges
- Zehfran Khan, 30, from Maybank in Bordesley
- Bilaal Khan, 22, from Ash Road in Saltley
- Syed Islam, 22, from Chetwynd Road in Ward End
The police crackdown sends a clear message: East Birmingham’s streets won’t tolerate illegal drugs or guns.
