Three members of a Birmingham-based gang supplying class A drugs and sourcing deadly firearms have been sentenced following a National Crime Agency investigation.
Danyal Aziz, 29, from Stechford, and Michael Earp, 32, from Shard End, were part of an organised criminal gang who were supplying cocaine and heroin, both locally and around the UK.
They also used lethal guns to intimidate their rivals and customers alike. They stashed a Skorpion submachine gun at the home of Earp’s cousin, Nicole Rhone, 29, in Bordesley.
The NCA started an investigation into their criminal activities through their use of encrypted messaging service Encrochat in 2020.
