Machete Wielding Gang Raids Rival Drug Dealers, Steals £250,000 of Cocaine and Heroin

[Social Media]

 

A violent gang armed with machetes and shotguns stormed a rival gang’s drug operation in Birmingham, making off with nearly £250,000 worth of cocaine and heroin. Their downfall came after members of the rival group were seen posing for photos with the illicit substances, inadvertently exposing their operation.

 

 

CCTV footage captured the gang pulling up to a house in Sparkhill in an Audi and a BMW in May 2021. They kicked open the door before attacking Mohammed Ishaq, 32, with a machete, inflicting a deep slash wound and injuring his arm. After seizing a significant quantity of drugs, the gang fled the scene as police and paramedics arrived at Oakwood Road.

 

 

Witnesses reported seeing the men hiding in nearby Sparkhill Park, where police later recovered a mixing bowl containing 8kg of heroin and 1kg of cocaine. The haul was valued at over £225,000, but police noted it would have been worth much more once mixed and prepared for street sale. The gang, desperate to retrieve the stolen drugs, drove around the park trying to recover them before officers could intervene. In an attempt to divert police attention, one of them even made a false 999 call, reporting a shooting elsewhere.

 

 

A subsequent police search of the targeted house uncovered more drugs, mixing agents, scales, bowls, and plastic bags, confirming it was a major hub for drug distribution. Detectives later found that the gang controlled at least six drug lines, which facilitated the sale of Class A substances across Birmingham.

 

 

Further investigation led officers to a damning piece of evidence—a photograph of one of the gang members posing with large bowls of drugs. This crucial piece of evidence helped secure convictions for nine men, who were collectively sentenced to more than 77 years in prison following a 13-week trial at Birmingham Crown Court that concluded in January.

 

The gang’s leader, Mohammed Imran Khan, 37, of Bordesley Green, was sentenced to 14 years and two months. He had created a stamp advertising one of the drug line’s phone numbers and opening hours and was also caught driving others around in his BMW to recover the stolen stash.

Mohammed Ishaq, the rival drug dealer who was attacked in his Oakwood Road property, was jailed for 10 years and two months. Police found a photograph of him posing with mixing bowls full of drugs and stacks of cash.

 

Other gang members received lengthy sentences: Kaleem Ullah Khan, 37, of Saltley, was jailed for 13 years and three months; Sohail Hussain, 31, of Bordesley Green, received nine years and nine months; Riaz Mohammed, 39, of Bordesley Green, was sentenced to seven years and six months; and Anwar Awais, 28, of Kings Heath, received seven years and four months.

 

Mohammed Hamza Butt, 25, of Bordesley Green, was sentenced to eight years, while Nowshad Mohammed, 29, also of Bordesley Green, was jailed for seven years and two months. Ahmed Iqbal, 19, also from Bordesley Green, is awaiting sentencing.

 

Detective Sergeant Danny Wilson of West Midlands Police said, "This was a gang that was trading in the human misery of Class A drugs—exploiting vulnerable people and fuelling a violent trade. Our investigation was triggered by an act of extreme violence against the gang, and that exposed the property at Oakwood Road as the headquarters of the operation. They were at the higher end of the supply chain, and their illegal product was being used to supply people across the city. These lengthy sentences send a powerful message to those involved in the drugs trade that we are coming for you, and you will spend years behind bars."

 

The case highlighted the dangerous and often violent nature of the drug trade, with the criminals’ greed and recklessness ultimately leading to their capture and imprisonment.

Really warms the heart.

Probably an occasion to reflect on the much maligned "Rivers of Blood" speech from Enoch Powell.

 

Quoting one of his costituents, "If I had the money to go, I wouldn't stay in this country... I have three children, all of them been through grammar school and two of them married now, with family. I shan't be satisfied till I have seen them all settled overseas."

 

The man finished by saying to Powell: "In this country in 15 or 20 years' time the black man will have the whip hand over the white man".

 

Powell went on "Here is a decent, ordinary fellow Englishman, who in broad daylight in my own town says to me, his Member of Parliament, that the country will not be worth living in for his children. I simply do not have the right to shrug my shoulders and think about something else. What he is saying, thousands and hundreds of thousands are saying and thinking—not throughout Great Britain, perhaps, but in the areas that are already undergoing the total transformation to which there is no parallel in a thousand years of English history. Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad. We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting the annual inflow of some 50,000 dependents, who are for the most part the material of the future growth of the immigrant descended population. It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre. So insane are we that we actually permit unmarried persons to immigrate for the purpose of founding a family with spouses and fiancées whom they have never seen."

 

And that was at 50k immigrants a year. What is it now - a million?

If that happened,everyone would have to leave the US, or is the US just a one religion country, and what would that be, as well as all others that have all religions?

Nothing wrong with practicing any religion as long as it isn't used as a crutch for terrorism.Nothing wrong with other nationalities living in other countries as long as they abide by the rules.

Close the borders to keep them out. and weed out the bad ones  that  are already in the country.

As the US saw for 911, knowing who's crazy and who only wants to live in peace isn't easy to differentiate unless they are known extremists.
