A drug dealer who sold both heroin and crack cocaine in North and West Yorkshire has been handed a six year prison term.

23 year old Abubakr Ahmed, of Leeds Road in Bradford, was involved in running the 'Khanny Line', which supplied approximately £220,000 of the Class A drugs between February and July this year.

He was arrested during a raid on a home in Keighley in June, with phones with details of drug dealing being seized.

Ahmed was charged with being concerned in the supply of heroin; being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine; possession with intent to supply heroin; possession with intent to supply crack cocaine; possession with intent to supply cocaine; possession of criminal property in relation to the recovered cash; and possession of an electrical incapacitation device.

Detective Inspector Helen Chapman, of West Yorkshire Police, said: “Ahmed has been shown to be behind a drugs line that was supplying very substantial amounts of heroin and cocaine between West Yorkshire and North Yorkshire.

“He was linked to these offences through a comprehensive investigation by specialist officers who are dedicated to taking down these types of criminal enterprise which fuel other types of crime and serious violence in our communities.

“This is yet another drugs line successfully dismantled by the team, and we hope it will provide some reassurance to the public to see our work continuing to yield positive results like this.”
