Yorkshire drug dealers who hid £1.4m of cocaine inside gas cannister jailed

Cocaine inside the body of the gas cannister

Faruk Miah and Safraz Latif, both of Bradford, hid 14 kilos of cocaine inside the body of the gas cannister - which was so lifelike it even released real gas from the valve when police officers turned it on.

Qazet.az reports that the drugs were found during a raid on February 9 last year in which West Yorkshire Police also found a quarter of a kilo of cannabis and a pistol.

Miah was jailed for a total of 18 years.

Latif, 37, of Beacon Grove, Bradford, was found guilty of possession with intent to supply cocaine at an earlier hearing. He was said to have played a significant role in the operation and was jailed for 11 years
