A
drug dealer, caught with £300,000 worth of cocaine by police, who
also found the hiding place for his illegal stockpile of firearms,
has been jailed for twelve years.
Syed
Hussain, 31, (pictured) of Beaufort Close, Chingford, East London was
arrested when officers from the Met's Trident Gang Crime Command
raided his home.
Detective
Constable James Barber said: “Hussain has without question
accumulated an astonishing quantity of weaponry and drugs,
determining himself to be a dangerous individual.
“There
is no doubt that Hussain had every intention to cause serious harm
with these items in his possession.
“Our
officers deserve huge credit for this intervention which followed a
skilled and detailed investigation.”
Following
an intelligence-led operation officers executed a search warrant on
March 15 at Hussain's home address.
Inside
the address officers found Hussain along with 58g of cocaine,
self-seal bags containing cannabis and approx £1,600 cash.
A
key was seized, which allowed access to an address in Forest Gate,
which Hussain claimed to have visited days before as a 'handyman'.
After
Hussain's arrest, officers used this key to enter a utility room on
Kebble Terrace at which a hand gun, a silencer, a sawn-off shot gun,
and ammunition were seized.
In
addition 137 grams of cocaine, 5 grams of heroin and a further £1,680
cash were recovered.
