Qasim Akhtar, 38, Zoheeb Asghar, aged 35 and Zeeshan Hussain, 22, have all been jailed following a police investigation into the drug supply line known as the 'King line'.

During the investigation, officers discovered that the line operated off of two mobile phone numbers between June 12 and December 11 last year.

During that time, forensic analysis of the phone data showed a large number of messages were broadcast offering drugs for sale, with the activity showing in Erdington and Sutton Coldfield.

Following the analysis of the phone data, a car was stopped on Bradford Road, Birmingham, on December 12 last year, as it was seen driving suspiciously.

Zeeshan Hussains was arrested following a warrant at an address in Birmingham
