A county lines drug dealer has been jailed for bringing Class-A drugs into Telford from Birmingham.

Amari Miller of Merlin road in Hall Green, Birmingham was arrested by officers when he was travelling along the M54.

They were under the impression the car was being used to transport cocaine and heroin from Birmingham into Telford.

Following a pursuit, officers carried out a search of the vehicle where they found a phone in the footwell of the car.

Forensic work was carried out on the phone which proved it was used for the ‘Mitch’ county line.

A search of Miller’s house was later carried out where £10,000 worth of cocaine was found hidden inside a coat pocket in his bedroom.

Investigations revealed Miller was at the very top of this county line.

Today (14th March) he was sentenced for two counts of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and possession with intent to supply class A drugs.

He will spend 4 years in prison.

Detective Sergeant Steve Miller, from Telford’s Proactive CID, said: “Miller was in full control of the ‘Mitch’ line which saw class A drugs being brought into Telford.

“By bringing Miller to justice we have successfully closed down another drugs line coming into Telford.

“We are pleased with the sentence handed to Miller by the judge, which we hope sends a strong message that we will not stop in our pursuit to target drug dealers disrupting our communities.”
