Three men jailed for their roles in Sheffield drug conspiracy
The gang members have been handed combined sentenced of over 16 years
Three men have been jailed for their roles in supplying Class A drugs valued at over £175,000 in Sheffield.
Baran Aslan, 21, Jamal Usman, 22, and Muhiyadin Ismail, 33, were charged after a nine-month investigation into drug lines known as Ghost, Zed, and Ice.
Six other men were previously jailed for their involvement in December 2025, and with today's sentencing, the gang members have collectively received more than 26 years behind bars.
Investigations revealed that Aslan, of Harborough Avenue, Sheffield, was found with three mobile phones and drug-related items when arrested in August 2024.
He was later detained again, possessing drugs worth around £1,300, including cannabis, crack cocaine, and heroin.
Phone analysis indicated that drug lines had been regularly diverted to numbers attributed to Ismail, of Fleury Place, Sheffield, and Usman, of Bawtry Road, Sheffield.
Evidence such as drug drop-off business cards was found at Usman's address.
Aslan was charged with conspiring to supply Class A drugs and possessing the Class B drug cannabis, along with three counts of possession with intent to supply drugs.
Ismail and Usman faced charges of conspiring to supply the Class A drugs heroin and crack cocaine.
All three men pleaded guilty at earlier hearings, with Baran Aslan and Jamal Usman sentenced to four years each and Muhiyadin Ismail handed three years and six months
Detective Constable Darcy Tabani, in charge of the case for South Yorkshire Police, said: “These three men were part of a gang that flooded the streets of Sheffield with 781.6g of crack cocaine and 977g of heroin.
“They took advantage of vulnerable people, and I’m pleased our dedicated operation involving teams from across the force has led to combined jail terms of more than 26 years."
“These results show the kind of difference we can make when we all work together to disrupt drug criminality. We’ll continue to target this harmful offending, and we need your help to do it.”
