Six individuals have been charged following the seizure of approximately 180kg (397 lbs) of cocaine at Birmingham Airport. The arrests were made by the National Crime Agency (NCA) on Monday as part of an operation targeting drug smuggling networks.
The group, which includes two men, two women, and a 17-year-old girl from Bradford, as well as a man from Halesowen, Dudley, has been charged with conspiracy to import Class A drugs.
The accused are:
- Aamir Shaffaq Mohammed, 27, of Waterlilly Road, Bradford
- Umair Shaffaq Mohammed, 21, of Waterlilly Road, Bradford
- Safa Noor, 19, of Waterlilly Road, Bradford
- Farzana Kauser, 53, of Waterlilly Road, Bradford
- Khaled Abdulkawi, 36, of Haden Road, Halesowen
The 17-year-old, whose identity is protected due to her age, and the other defendants were scheduled to appear at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.
The NCA described the seizure as a significant blow to organized crime and a testament to their ongoing efforts to disrupt the illegal drug trade.
