An investigation by Bedfordshire Police has led to the leader of a drugs line in Bedford being jailed for over three years.

24-year-old Amir Mgari was found to have been running the 'G-line' which supplied crack cocaine and heroin across the borough.

Specialist units linked the drugs line to a phone used by Mgari, also finding calls to his partner.

A warrant was carried out in Shakespeare Road, where four other men and Mgari were found. He was found in possession of Class A drugs and cash, with more drugs, weapons and phone also found at the property.

In April, Mgari admitted several charges and was yesterday, May 13th, sentenced at Luton Crown Court to three years and two months in prison.

Detective Constable Lindsey Cook investigating, said: “There is no place in our community for criminals like Mgari - we very much welcome his sentence today.

“We know drug dealers like him are a real risk to our communities. Violence and exploitation are at the heart of drug crime from the exploitation of children and young people to vulnerable adults being cuckooed and abused.

“We will not let up in our efforts targeting the people running these drugs lines.”
