Luxury Life Exposed: Rolex, Designer Gear Seized
The investigation kicked off on July 27, 2020, when police stopped a hire vehicle at Ahmed’s Winchester Road address. Both suspects were searched, with their phones seized. Under a red car on the driveway, officers found cocaine worth £3,000.
Raids on their homes uncovered luxury stash worth £14,000: Moncler jackets, Louboutin shoes, Louis Vuitton belts and bags, gold jewellery, and a Rolex watch.
‘Blanco the Barber’ Running a Drug Empire
Phone messages revealed Ahmed, nicknamed “Blanco the barber,” openly marketing his cocaine like a legit business — even asking for customer “reviews” on the quality, “like Trip Advisor.”
Bank records showed Ahmed hid income from HMRC since 2017/18, yet £68,492 hit his accounts between 2019 and 2020. Willard transferred £41,649 to him during this time.
PC Chael Essery said: “Ahmed and Willard lived a lavish lifestyle funded by the proceeds of cocaine dealing. However, as a result of their crimes, they now face a much less luxurious future.”
