A man from Wales helped run a "county line" network that supplied Class A substances to Bristol. Avon and Somerset Police said Khalil Mohamod, of Cardiff, and his accomplice Carlton Morris, of Bristol, were involved in a drug operation that exposed a child to "unacceptable risk".
Mohamod, 38, and Morris, 58, were arrested last February following an investigation led by Avon and Somerset Police's county lines team. Officers had discovered the pair were involved in a network supplying crack cocaine, cocaine and heroin in Bristol. The force said it has "safeguarded a child who was exposed to unnecessary and unacceptable risk".

Mohamod pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin; possession with intent to supply crack cocaine, cocaine and heroin; and possession of criminal property. Morris admitted being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin.
A Bristol Crown Court judge jailed Mohamod for four and a half years and Morris for two years. PC Mark Owen said: “The county lines team, working in partnership with other internal and external agencies, has destroyed a drugs line that was supplying Class A drugs to users in Bristol. Illicit drugs and criminal property have been seized and the perpetrators have been given custodial sentences."
He added: "This demonstrates our commitment to tackling county lines drug supply and safeguarding the vulnerable who are caught up in the process.” For the latest court reports, sign up to our crime newsletter here.
