A callous heroin dealer who joked drugs in a £1.4m deal were so pure they would “kill a couple of people” is starting a lengthy jail term along with his brother and their Polish contact.
Detectives from the Metropolitan Police’s Organised and Serious Crime Command conducted a surveillance operation, which ended in the seizure of 28 kilos of high-purity heroin.
Jobless Paul Channer, 47, of Vernham Road, Greenwich (pic.top) was sentenced to fourteen years and lighting engineer Barry Channer, 40, of Azof Street, Greenwich (pic.mid.) received eight years.
Both were arrested on July 23, last year after collecting the drugs at South Mimms Services, Hertfordshire, from jobless Waldemar Nowakowski, 30, of Opal Close, Canning Town, (pic.bottom) who received eleven years.
After collecting the drugs at the M25 services police overheard Paul Channer boast: “This one is ten out of ten so hopefully it will kill a couple of people.”
The brothers had traveled in convoy, driving a Mercedes and Lexus to the rendezvous and were stopped by armed police in Twelvetrees Crescent, Bow, East London and the heroin with a street value of £1.4m seized.
Detective Inspector Sarah Staff said: “This was a long-term proactive operation which has resulted in the dismantling of an organised criminal network.
“The fact that one of these men apparently aspired to kill people with his drugs shows just how callous these dealers were.
“The hugely damaging effects of heroin on society are well documented and it is only right that those willing to profit from its supply face a lengthy prison sentence.”
