Two charged over selling drugs

We’ve arrested and charged two Birmingham brothers with conspiracy to sell both crack cocaine and heroin.

Aamir Hussain, aged 31, and Eeaman Hussain, aged 19, were appearing at Birmingham Magistrates Court today (Wed) for a first hearing.

The arrests were made yesterday (Tues) following enforcement action in the Sparkbrook area of the city.

Four arrests were made at a property on Lyncroft Road while a fifth arrest was made at an address at The Poplars.

Three other men have been bailed with strict conditions as our enquiries continue.

Drugs were recovered during the operation as well as thousands of pounds in cash. Weapons including a knife and a hammer were also recovered.

We're currently running Operation Target which sees us take a defiant stand against a range of serious and organised crime offences.

Officers use local intelligence, seize goods, carry out warrants and target offenders as part of Op Target’s ongoing crackdown against serious and organised crime.

You can report crime to us by ringing 101 or alternatively Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
