Foiled Drug Toss Over Garden Fence

On 7 January, cops swarmed a Northam Road address. An officer spotted a man sneak out the back door, chucking a suspicious package over a neighbour’s fence before slipping back inside.

£4,980 Worth of Class A Seized

The package was found in the neighbour’s garden, split into three smaller bundles. Tests confirmed it held cocaine, crack cocaine, and heroin with a combined street value of £4,980.

Three and a Half Years Behind Bars

Ahmadzai was charged with three counts of possession with intent to supply. He pleaded guilty earlier this year at Salisbury Crown Court. Today, Southampton Crown Court sentenced him to three years and six months in prison.
