I wonder if this is the new thing in certain cities?
Clearly the raping of children is being (hopefully) dealt with, so it's the poisoning of children/young adults that appears to be the future.

Drug dealer warned he faces seven year jail term if caught selling Class A drugs again A 22-year-old drug dealer has been warned he faces a minimum jail term of seven years if he is caught selling Class A drugs again. Mohammed Atif Aslam was locked up for 18 months for drugs offences in 2011 and today he was sent to prison again after police officers found heroin and cash in a Seat car they had stopped on Thornton Road, Bradford, last October. Aslam, of Girlington Road, Bradford, was jailed for 32 months after he admitted possessing heroin and cocaine with intent to supply and his driver Mohammed Zaman, 20, of Haslingden Road, Heaton, Bradford, was sent to a young offenders institution for 28 months. Zaman, who had no previous convictions, admitted the same street dealing offences as his co-accused and Judge Mark Savill warned Aslam that a third drug dealing offence would mean he faced a very severe minimum sentence under the "three strikes" legislation. Prosecutor David Lampitt said after officers stopped the Seat car in the middle of the afternoon Aslam was found to be in possession of 20 packages of heroin with a street value of just over £100. Aslam also had £325 in cash on him and his mobile phone was seized. Mr Lampitt said further searches were carried out at Zaman's home and a flat linked to him. In Zaman's bedroom officers found a carrier bag with Aslam's fingerprint on it which contained various quantities of heroin and cocaine and when the flat in Great Horton Road was searched a further bag containing heroin was discovered. Mr Lampitt said in total the police recovered heroin and cocaine worth more than £8,700 on the streets. Both defendants said they had been involved in drug dealing to pay off debts and that "a third party" was controlling them. "Some the text messages on the phone seemed to support what they were saying," conceded Mr Lampitt. Solicitor advocate Mark Brookes, for Aslam, conceded that his client was back in court for a second similar offence in a relatively short period of time. Mr Brookes said Aslam was being put under pressure by others to pay off a debt which had increased from £1,500 to £2,000. Zaman's lawyer Stephen Uttley urged Judge Savill to consider a suspended sentence in his case due to his lack of previous convictions. "I submit he is worth taking a chance on," said Mr Uttley. "If he comes back he can expect no mercy and the slam of the prison door, but I ask you to give him that chance today." But Judge Savill said the amount of drugs involved was just shy of £9000 and it could not be said that the defendants had been in possession of just one or two wraps. source: http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/n ... ugs_again/ Leeds taxi driver jailed over ‘champagne cocaine’ drug stash A taxi driver turned drug dealer who was caught with high-purity ‘champagne cocaine’ at his home in Leeds has been jailed for more than five years. Police also found a stun gun and three CS gas cannisters when they searched Mohammed Zaman’s property in the Harehills area of the city. Leeds Crown Court heard Zaman, 39, was stopped in his car on Woodsley Road, Woodhouse, in the early hours of December 8 2013. Officers decided to search his car and found a bag containing 18 wraps of cocaine with a purity of 17 per cent. A further four wraps containing cocaine with a purity of 79 per cent were also discovered. Richard Walters prosecuting said those wraps with a higher purity were worth £400 in total and were referred to as champagne cocaine. They are aimed at drug users with a higher tolerance of the drug with the means to pay for it. Zaman’s home was searched and a further 30 wraps of champagne cocaine were found. Another bag of lower purity cocaine was also found and a small quantity of cannabis. Officers discovered over £5,000 in cash in the property along with a stun gun and three GS gas cannisters. Zaman, now of Cross Flatts Grove, Beeston, pleaded guilty to two offences of possession of cocaine with intent to supply, possession of cannabis, possession of criminal property and four offences of possession of a prohibited weapon. Andrew Foley, prosecuting, said Zaman was a married father-of-three who had spent most of his life working as a taxi driver. He said Zaman began selling the drug for others in order to fund his own habit. Judge Sally Cahill, QC, jailed Zaman for five years and seven months. She said: “The only real reason you had these weapons was in connection with your drug dealing activities.” source: http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/n ... -1-7211580 |
