A DRUGS ring which dealt more than £3million worth of cocaine has been jailed after its illegal supply network was rumbled.
Officers from the West Midlands Regional Organised Crime Unit (ROCU) acted on information and shut down the drugs operation which operated between January and March 2022.
West Midlands Police say the network supplied at least 100kilogrammes of cocaine in that time.
More than £1.7million of cash which was linked to the network was also seized.
Officers observed Trevor Lichfield, of Willets Road in Northfield, conduct an exchange with Perry Emery in Wythall in February last year.
Police stopped Emery, of Littlemead Road in Shirley, a short time later and seized cocaine.

They then swooped on Organ’s home in Simcox Gardens, Harborne, and recovered more cocaine.
Investigations into contact between members of the gang were carried out and police discovered Lichfield arranged the meet between Pardoe and Organ.
