STORY
A gang from Bradford has been locked up after ruthlessly supplying hard drugs to users in York, leaving a trail of addiction and misery in their wake. The group’s disregard for the harm their criminal enterprise caused was laid bare in court, where judges handed down substantial prison sentences for conspiring to supply Class A drugs.
The three gang members sent to jail are Haider Arshed (aged 28), Shu-Aiv Mohammed Titre (aged 22) and Oliur Rahman (aged 26). Prosecutors described how the gang organised the supply of heroin and crack cocaine into York, showing a blatant disregard for the damage their actions inflicted on vulnerable people. Rather than seeking honest work, these individuals chose to line their own pockets by feeding addiction and fuelling crime across the community.
Police carried out a targeted investigation that ultimately dismantled the network, arresting the offenders and gathering evidence of their involvement in distributing dangerous drugs. In sentencing, the court made clear that such behaviour would not be tolerated, highlighting the detrimental impact of drug dealing on public health and safety.
