Rotherham drug dealer jailed

The gang were jailed for a total of 43 years at Bradford Crown Court for their part in Operation Stet Two—a conspiracy to supply Class A drugs across the West and South Yorkshire areas between February and July 2010.

The drugs were supplied by 29-year-old Shahnawaz Nazar of Broom, Rotherham, and were couriered by Anthony Horsfield (34), of Doncaster. The pair—who were found guilty in December—were sentenced to 11 years and six years, six months respectively last Friday. 

Mohammed Ibrar Shaukat (37), of Allerton, Bradford and Abuhassan Rehman (29), of Pudsey were the ringleaders of the Bradford-based criminal gang who co-ordinated the purchase and the supply of Heroin and Cocaine.

Shaukat was found guilty by a jury and was jailed for 11 years four months, while Rehman pleaded guilty at a hearing last year and was sentenced to 8 years.

Mohammed Azeem (25), of Heaton, Bradford pleaded guilty and was jailed for six years four months after the court heard how he worked for Shaukat and Rehman as their courier.
