Amari Miller, of Merlin Road in Hall Green, Birmingham, was jailed in March for two counts of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and possession with intent to supply class A drugs.

The 24-year-old was arrested on January 9 when police spotted a black Vauxhall Astra travelling along the M54.

Officers believed the vehicle was being used to transport class A drugs – cocaine and heroin – from Birmingham into Telford as part of the ‘Mitch’ county line.

After a pursuit, the vehicle, an Vauxhall Astra, was later stopped on the A464 near to Stafford Park, and Miller was arrested.
