Millions of pounds of Class A drugs could have got onto the streets if the police had not intervened.

Officers swooped on the men after the exchange of drugs at an industrial estate in the town, a court was told.

The men appeared for sentencing at Birmingham Crown Court on Friday, after earlier pleading guilty to conspiring to supply class A drugs.

Tayyab Iqbal, 32, of Coventry Road, Birmingham, was jailed for 16 years.
