A Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) hearing is due to be held at the same court on 19 August.

Detective Sergeant Sarah Morgan, who investigated, said: ‘A considerable amount of Class A drugs were found hidden in Iqbal’s home, which have now been seized and taken off the streets. 

‘A Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) hearing will now be heard which will look to strip Iqbal of his illicit gains.

‘I would like to make an appeal to the public to work with us in our fight against drugs – so often we know it comes hand-in-hand with other criminality such as violence and exploitation – if you have information or concerns, please report it to us.’
