An Encrochat dealer has been jailed after supplying the North West with cocaine and heroin in a £1m drug plot.
Nabeel Rasheed supplied Liverpool as part of his drug ring that covered a number of places across the North West using Encrochat, with the 28-year-old using the alias "Limitedturtle". Rasheed used the encrypted messaging service to message members of organised crime groups.
Rasheed, of Southbank Road, Bury, was part of the drug ring that was based in Oldham, with him being involved in the purchase of at least 15kg of cocaine and 9.5kg of heroin between April and June 2020, as well as breaking down batches into smaller amounts which were then sold to distributors who supplied customers in the likes of Liverpool and Bradford.
