Two Sheffield men have been jailed for over 10 years after being found to be operating a Class A drugs line.
Mohammed Sajid, 26, and Abidul Islam, 26, were first stopped by Sheffield police in June 2024 after reports of a suspicious vehicle.
After a search of a vehicle, officers discovered quantities of heroin, cocaine and crack cocaine, as well as three mobile phones.
Investigating Officer PC Katie Haliburton said: “Both Islam and Sajid were operating a highly sophisticated drugs line and thought they could get away with their crimes.
“We have no tolerance for illegal drugs, and we are fully committed to tackling the ongoing issue of drug supply within our communities.”
A house search additionally revealed a brown substance wrapped in tin foil, a knife, and a bundle of cash amounting to approximately £5,000 in total.
Police estimate that the drugs discovered were worth between £22,000 to £29,000, as part of the drugs line operated between February and June 2024.
Forensic evidence from the drugs and phones allowed Islam and Sajid to be charged with conspiracy to supply Class A drugs.
Islam was also charged with possession of criminal property.
Islam pleaded guilty to his charges in August 2024.
Sajid pleaded not guilty, but was found guilty at trial at Sheffield Crown Court in February 2025.
Both men were sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court on Wednesday, 4 February.
Sajid, of Wolseley Road, Sheffield, received a sentence of five years and ten months.
Islam, of Shortbrook Road, Sheffield, was sentenced to five years and eight months.
Officer Katie Haliburton added: “I am pleased with the sentences Islam and Sajid have been handed, and I encourage the public to report any concerns you may have to us.
“With your help, we can take more criminals like Islam and Sajid off our streets and ensure our community is safe for everyone.”
