Bradford man jailed for running drugs line supplying Leeds
Sadhiul Haque sentenced to 4 and half years behind bars for crack cocaine and heroin offences
A Bradford man who operated a drugs line supplying crack cocaine and heroin into Leeds has been sentenced to four and a half years in prison.
28-year-old Sadhiul Haque was linked to the drugs operation by West Yorkshire Police’s county lines taskforce.
Investigations by the Operation Phoenix team revealed Haque was behind a drugs line that advertised crack cocaine and heroin, mainly targeting the Pudsey area, through bulk text messages.
In February, the police searched Haque's Nottingham Street home in Bradford, seizing two phones connected to the drugs line along with £1,520 in cash.
Additional searches of Haque’s VW Golf led to the discovery of a key to an adjacent Vauxhall Corsa, where officers found heroin and crack cocaine worth £2,360, with much of the drugs divided into individual wraps.
Forensic tests linked Haque’s DNA to the packages, leading to his conviction.
Haque was charged with being concerned in the supply of both crack cocaine and heroin, as well as possession with intent to supply those drugs.
He pleaded guilty at Bradford Crown Court and was sentenced yesterday.
Detective Inspector Helen Chapman, head of West Yorkshire Police’s county lines taskforce, commented on Haque’s role in expertly running a Bradford-based drugs operation that significantly affected the Pudsey area.
“Our investigation built up a detailed evidential picture that linked him solidly to these offences and saw him left with no option but to plead guilty at court,” Chapman said.
She highlighted how Haque's activities fuel crime and violence, bringing misery to users and their families.
Operation Phoenix remains committed to dismantling county lines drug operations across the West Yorkshire.
