Watch moment nine 1kg blocks of cocaine discovered in bedroom drawers at West Midlands property
West Mercia Police says the case was one of their largest seizures of Class A and B drugs in recent years.
A third person involved in a major north Worcestershire drugs network was sentenced at court on Monday 21 September.
Sian Roper, 41, of St. Georges Terrace, Kidderminster had previously pleaded guilty to producing a controlled drug of class B - cannabis and permitting premises to be used for drug related activities in the same case.
On Monday 21 September, Roper was sentenced to a total of 16 months, suspended for two years, when she appeared at Worcester Crown Court - two months for the cannabis production offence, consecutive to 14 months for allowing her premises to be used for drug related activities.
Earlier this month, Benjamin Whitefoot and Stephen Windsor-Price were sentenced for their roles in the network.
Whitefoot, 48, of Leswell Street, Kidderminster; and Windsor-Price, 54, of Childe Road, Cleobury Mortimer, Kidderminster, were sentenced for the following at Worcester Crown Court -
- Possession with intent to supply a class A drug - cocaine for which Whitefoot was sentenced to nine years in prison and Windsor-Price to three years, suspended for three years
- Possession with intent to supply a class B drug - cannabis for which they were sentenced to two years concurrent and six months concurrent respectively
Whitefoot was further convicted of possession of criminal property - cash for which he was sentenced to 16 months to run concurrently.
A total of 14.5 kg of class A drugs - predominately cocaine - was seized, along with 12.3kg of class B - cannabis and ketamine and hundreds of packets of cannabis edibles.
The total cash seized was over £92,500 and the combined street level value of all the drugs seized was in the region of £1.5million.
The investigation - known as Op Aloha - was led by the force’s Serious and Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) following intelligence work initially surrounding the lead suspect Benjamin Whitefoot and suspected drug dealing from a flat neighbouring his own on Leswell Street in Kidderminster.
From this address, Whitefoot was stashing drugs and cash from where he would also prepare cocaine and cannabis for onward supply.
On Wednesday 18 February 2026, SOCU officers completed enforcement action by executing dynamic search warrants at two flats in Leswell Court and a house in St Georges Terrace in Kidderminster.
Task Force officers simultaneously stopped a grey Ford C-Max being driven by Windsor-Price.
The search at Leswell Court identified a drug factory, where cocaine was being weighed and prepared ready for onward supply and cannabis was packaged in vacuum sealed bags.
Around £92,000 cash was also found in a tumble drier. Whitefoot was present at the address and arrested.
During the search at Roper’s address in St Georges Terrace, nine 1kg blocks of cocaine, along with smaller blocks of cocaine were recovered from a chest of drawers within a bedroom, along with a small cannabis production being discovered. Roper was present at the address and arrested.
When Task Force stopped Windsor-Price’s car, he was found in possession of 42.4g of cocaine, along with 234g of cannabis in a vacuum sealed bag and arrested.
Dan Fenn, Detective Chief Inspector, said: “Today’s [4 September] result marks the conclusion of what is one of the biggest seizures of drugs by West Mercia Police in recent years.
“This investigation has shut down a serious and organised criminal enterprise flooding class A and B drugs into the north Worcestershire area, and I want to pay tribute to those officers involved for their hard work.
“However, we are not complacent. West Mercia Police will continue with its efforts to tackle drugs gangs, regardless of what role individuals play in these gangs or assistance they provide, to keep the public safe from their criminality as well as the harmful impact illegal substances such as these have on our communities.”
