Mohammed Jakir Hussain, a London drug dealer has been handed 22 years jail term for drug supply and conspiracy charges.
Hussain of Stepney Green Court was jailed due to intensive work of the Met Police.
He was jailed at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Friday, 28 June after pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of heroin but was found guilty of involvement in the distribution of Class A drugs, conspiracy to supply heroin, possession of Class B drugs and attempting to smuggle prohibited items into a prison in April 2023.
According to the Met Police, in 2021, local Tower Hamlets officers suspected Hussain to be a significant figure in a large-scale drug operation after receiving intelligence.
Met analysts examined months of communication data from seven phones belonging to Hussain to piece together his role in the illicit drugs trade and gather substantial evidence against him.
The police stated that as part of a New Met for London, officers were actively working with local communities to address their concerns, especially focusing on tackling drug related crimes and associated violence.
Detective Inspector Dave Chambers, leading the investigation said he had seen first-hand the devastating impact that drugs could have on individuals, families and communities and that this was what drove the police to bring criminals like Hussain to justice.

Chambers said his dedicated officers worked tirelessly to intercept drug trafficking operations and prevent harmful substances from reaching the streets.
He said the police’s efforts had disrupted a major criminal plot and protected vulnerable members of society from falling victim to the dangers of substance abuse.
According to the police, Hussain was discovered to be involved in the illicit sale of various drugs such as cocaine, heroin and crystal methamphetamine, saying that the investigation uncovered his involvement in incriminating conversations on EncroChat, suggesting his participation in drug sales.
The police said, however, no evidence was found linking him to having an account on the platform, adding that officers also uncovered his participation in distributing around 80kg of drugs valued at around £8m, resulting in the confiscation of over 70 phones.
The police said further into the investigation, officers evidenced Hussain making trips to a prison to throw drugs over the wall and provided them to prisoners.
They said Hussain also had contact with a prisoner who had a mobile phone, evidenced by Google map screenshots used for planning the smuggling operation.
“Their discussions involved plans to involve retail shop workers in their plans to smuggle items and the use of a drone for drug transportation. They also talked about test flights, making the drone quieter, observing guard routines and locations for these activities,” the police stated.
