A drug dealer caught with 20 kilos of heroin when undercover cops stopped his car near his East London home has been jailed for twelve years.
Ekram Arslan, 41, of Poole Road, Homerton also had brown powder to bulk out the drugs plus paraphernalia used to prepare the heroin for onward distribution.
He pleaded guilty at Snaresbrook Crown Court to possessing the class A drug, with intent to supply, on June 7.
Arslan was arrested by officers from the Met’s Central Task Force carrying a shoebox, which when searched contained three block packages of heroin.
His home was searched and in a padlocked shed police found two further boxes (pictured) containing eleven and twenty-one blocks, plus a shoebox containing a single block.
Also found were scales, clingfilm and knives.
Detective Constable Paul Buckle said: “This was a significant recovery of class A drugs which I have no doubt were destined for the streets of London.”
A confiscation and forfeiture hearing is scheduled for early 2012.
