A criminal gang faces jail for smuggling drugs worth more than £135million under the guise of a furniture removal company. Kingpin Jonathan Arnold, 29, boasted of his wealth online by posting photos of holidays to Dubai and road trips in a Ferrari, police said.
The gang brought large quantities of cocaine, heroin and ketamine into the UK by using dummy loads of furniture to hide consignments. Some of the vehicles had hidden compartments to conceal the shipments.
Arnold, of Sutton Coldfield, admitted four charges of conspiracy to import and supply drugs. James Jenkins, 25, Humayan Sadiq, 43, and Connor Fletcher, 25, were found guilty for their roles in the drugs ring following a trial at Birmingham Crown Court. They will be sentenced at the same court.
