A man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after a police raid in Bordesley Green, Birmingham, as part of an investigation into gang violence and discovered class A drugs and guns.

Zidane Amin, 22, admitted to possession of two guns and ammunition, as well as having class A drugs with the intent to supply.

The raid happened in April 2023. Amin was jailed at Birmingham Crown Court last Thursday (3 Oct).

Det Insp Jon Green, of our Major Crime Unit, said: “Amin’s arrest came as part of a wider investigation into gang violence, which causes devastation and misery in communities.

"As a result of this enforcement we’ve taken two potentially deadly weapons off the streets, and Amin is behind bars.

"This result is a testament to the hard work of our officers and demonstrates our commitment to removing guns and drugs from our streets as part of Operation Target.”
