Bristol Drug Dealer Slapped with 7-Year Prison Sentence After Huge Heroin and Cocaine Bust
Big Catch at Bristol Crown Court
Mazin Mohammed, 28, from Claverham Road, was locked up at Bristol Crown Court today, Friday 11 March. He admitted to possession of heroin and cocaine with intent to supply. The crackdown follows a tip-off about a suspected drug deal last December.
Police Nabbed Dealer with £82,000 Worth of Class A
Officers tracked down the vehicle linked to the deal and raided Mohammed’s home. They found a massive stash of Class A drugs, with an estimated street value of around £82,000. Initially sentenced to 10 years, Mohammed’s term was cut to 7 years and 6 months after he pleaded guilty.
Police Praise Public Help, Urge More Snitches
PC Louise Jones, part of the crack team cracking down on drug crime, said: “Mohammed was caught with a large quantity of class A drugs and, faced with overwhelming evidence, he had little choice but to plead guilty.”
“He tried to profit from the misery drugs cause. We welcome the custodial sentence he received today.”
“This bust came directly from a public tip-off about a suspected drug deal. We thank that individual for stepping up. It helped us act fast, seize the drugs, and lock Mohammed up.”
“We want people to feel confident reporting drug crime to help clean Bristol’s streets of dealers.”
Dedicated Police Team Fighting Drug Crime
Drug crime tears apart communities, targeting vulnerable people. Bristol’s dedicated police unit works closely with local partners and national forces to bring drug pushers to justice and protect the public.
