Photos give glimpse inside Birmingham Class A drug supply operation ran on Snapchat after 'controller' jailed
A man has been jailed for his involvement in a Class A drugs supply operation across Birmingham.
Asim Akram, 41, was identified as the controller of the Snapchat account which advertised and sold drugs between February and September 2025, following an investigation by West Midlands Police's County Lines Taskforce into a drug line known as the 'Snowbrum' line.
A warrant was carried out at an address in College Road, Saltley, Birmingham, on 18 September, and Akram was arrested for being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.
Officers seized mobile phones linked to the drug line, Class A drugs, Class B drugs, and large amounts of cash.
Akram pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine, cocaine, heroin, ketamine, cannabis, and possession with intent to supply of the same drugs.
He was jailed for 7 years after being sentenced on Thursday (February 12).
Sgt Craig Tennant from our County Lines Taskforce, said: "Following a thorough investigation, which included extensive review into the mobile phone usage, we were able to lock up Akram and shut down his network.
“We know that County Lines networks impact our communities and fuel other crime.
"This is why we continue to work day in, day out, to stop those moving drugs throughout the West Midlands area and find those responsible to bring down drug lines.”
