Four men have been jailed after admitting to drug offences in Keighley.

Bradford’s Programme Precision team launched an operation in 2022 to target and disrupt the supply of Class A drugs within the area.

A number of warrants were executed in the Keighley area in December 2022.

Four people were arrested and subsequently charged with conspiracy to supply a controlled Class A drug (cocaine).

Naveed Hussain, 34, Chatsworth Street, Keighley was sentenced to eight years

Armaan Nazir, 27, Cark Road, Keighley was sentenced to three years, three months,

Asad Majeed, 25, Ashleigh Street, Keighley was sentenced to four years, three months.

Nadeem Hussain, 32 of Chatsworth Street, Keighley was sentenced to five years eight months.

The operation was supported with funding from the National County Lines Coordination Centre.

Detective Inspector Helen Chapman of Bradford’s Precision Team Said:

“Illegal drugs will not be tolerated in our communities, and this operation shows how we have dismantled a sophisticated drugs operation in the town of Keighley.

“Bradford’s Programme Precision Team works alongside partners including the local neighbourhood policing team to tackle serious and organised crime.

“Information from the community is vital and allows us to thoroughly investigate this illegal trade.

‘I would encourage anyone with information about drugs supply to contact West Yorkshire Police or Crimestoppers to support this continued disruption of those involved in the supply of drugs.

‘We hope that this sentence will serve as a warning to others that if you are involved in the supply of drugs, we will act on the information we receive to identify you, arrest you and bring you before the courts.’
