West Midlands Police County Lines Taskforce (CLTF) launched an investigation into the drug line in 2023, a court heard. Detectives found that the phones used to run the line would receive and send out thousands of calls and messages. The operation was found to be so busy that the group would each work shifts across a 22-hour period, seven days a week to meet demand. Each of the drug runners worked seven-hour shifts and between them sold dozens of kilos of Class A drugs with their operation worth over £1million, a crown court was told. In 2025, the CLTF carried out enforcement across multiple addresses targeting those involved in the line, which saw all seven men arrested. Searches at the properties resulted in multiple kilos of Class A drugs being recovered while officers also came across thousands of pounds in cash. Cops reviewed mobile phones and found the footage of some of the men showing off their cash and drugs. The group pleaded guilty to multiple offences at Birmingham Crown Court and were sentenced on Wednesday, September 16. Zuhayb Abdi, 30, of no fixed address, was identified as the leader of the gang.

Detective Sergeant, Adam Buzzard said: “This group ran a significant drugs line around the Black Country and wider area. “They were meticulous in their planning to ensure the drug line ran all hours of the day, every day. “However, thanks to our excellent investigative skills, we were able to identify those involved in the line and secure significant jail time for all seven. “Drugs cause harm within communities and we’re carrying out action day in, day out, to disrupt supply lines across the region.”
