Two men charged after ten kilos of heroin found in boot of car

Two men from the West Midlands have been charged following the discovery of ten kilos of heroin stashed in a suitcase in the boot of a car.

As part of an operation led by officers from the joint National Crime Agency and Met Police Organised Crime Partnership (OCP), the two men were stopped at a Heathrow Airport Car Park on Sunday 22 July.

Searching the vehicle, officers found ten kilos of heroin in a suitcase in the boot.

Driver Abid Hussain, 50, of Wells Avenue, Wednesbury, Walsall and passenger 54 year-old Janger Khan of William Cook Road, Birmingham were charged with conspiracy to import Class A drugs.

A search of Hussain’s home uncovered £7,700 in cash which officers believe to be criminal money.

Both men appeared at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court recently [Monday 23 July] and remanded into custody until their next appearance at Blackfriars Crown Court on 20 August.
