A man has been jailed after more than £4,000-worth of cocaine and heroin was found inside an address in Stoke-on-Trent.

Kashif Ahmed, 22, of Birmingham, was sentenced to four years and five months behind bars after admitting importing a class B drug, possession with intent to supply cocaine and heroin, possessing criminal property and possession with intent to supply crack cocaine at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on Wednesday (22 March).

The court heard how officers completed a warrant at an address in Normacot in March last year (2022). Ahmed was upstairs at the time when two mobile phones were thrown out of the window when we made our way inside.
