Doncaster drug dealer jailed over sale of heroin and crack cocaine
He was involved in the operation of the 'Weasel Line', which supplied Class A substances to users in Doncaster.
A Doncaster man has been handed a two and half jail sentence for his involvement in a drugs line supplying heroin and crack cocaine.
48 year old Shazad Khan, of Welbeck Road in Bennetthorpe, was caught by a specialist teams of officers targeting the 'county lines' drugs trade in South Yorkshire.
He was involved in the operation of the 'Weasel Line', which supplied Class A substances to users in Doncaster.
PC Lee Ashworth, of South Yorkshire Police, said:
"The use and supply of illegal drugs, even at a street dealing level, feeds into a wider complex of more serious organised criminality.
"These organised crime gangs are responsible for some of the horrific violence we see on our streets as they vie for power and trade. By taking out the drug dealers, we are able to limit their influence and massively disrupt their operations.
"Khan is just one of many drug dealers we've been able to convict as part of Operation Dream Alpha and more are due to be sentenced this year in court after pleading guilty to drug supply offences.
"This operation has already had a huge impact in removing drug dealers from Doncaster and I hope this latest sentencing sends out another clear message about what will happen to you if you think about dealing drugs in this city."
