Three members of an organised crime gang trafficking large amounts of class A drugs from Manchester to Aberystwyth have been jailed. One of the couriers had dozens of wraps of cocaine hidden in his anus, a technique known as 'plugging'.
Wales Online reported that officers believe the gang sending the couriers across the border was involved in supplying huge quantities of drugs to the Ceredigion area.
Swansea Crown Court heard how on July 6 2020, a Vauxhall Corsa had been intercepted by police as it was driving from Manchester to Aberystwyth. Mustafa Saiid, 22, of Billing Avenue, Ardwick, was driving with Shuaib Issak, 23, of Stelfox Avenue, Fallowfield as passenger.
