M6 driver pulled over by police had ?1 million cocaine haul
A disqualified driver was caught with more than £1 MILLION worth of cocaine after being stopped by cops. Sukhchain Dale has been jailed after he was found with an enormous stash of Class A drugs.
His van had been pulled over on the M6 northbound in Birmingham on May 27 this year. The haul was seized and the 36-year-old from Showell Lane, Wolverhampton[1], was arrested.
Dale pleaded guilty to possession of drugs with intent to supply and disqualified driving. He was caged for seven years and four months at Birmingham Crown Court on Monday (June 26).
A West Midlands Police[3] spokesperson said: "Drugs ruin lives and lead to further crime within our communities. We're now running Operation Target in a tough stance against a range of serious offences from drug dealing and burglary to cyber-crime and fraud. Officers are using local intelligence, seizing goods, carrying out warrants and targeting suspects as part of the ongoing operation."
