The Manchester brothers caught red-handed near a Waitrose 200 miles from home

Two brothers from Manchester were caught red-handed drug dealing almost 200 miles away from home.

Hassan Nadeem, 32, and Zain Nadeem, 21, were caught with heroin and crack cocaine when police in Peterborough spotted 'known drug-users' getting in and out of their car. Officers first spotted people getting in the Toyota Yaris near to a Waitrose and then in an Asda car park on October 26 last year.

When stopped, the pair, both from Burnage, 'claimed no-one else had been in the car', Cambridgeshire Police said. But officers searched the vehicle and found £1,490 worth of class A drug wraps hidden under the passenger-side window controls.

Almost £800 in cash was also found, as well as three mobile phones with 'drug-supply' messages on. The pair were arrested.

Nadeem and Nadeem, both of Burnage Lane, both appeared at Cambridge Crown Court on Wednesday (November 13). They admitted possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and heroin.

Hassan was jailed for two years and four months. Zain was handed a two year sentence which was suspended by two years, police added.

Detective Constable Ryan Ellington said: "We have dedicated teams to tackle drug dealing across the county who are out gathering intelligence and reacting to information from the public. You may not always see them, as with this case they are often not in police uniform, but know that they are there, and they are working hard to disrupt those who think it is acceptable to deal drugs in our city."
