A DRUG supply chain has been broken after two Southampton dealers were jailed, say police. 

Mirza Baig, 27, and Dewan Choudhury, 27, both of Station Road, Netley Abbey were jailed on Wednesday for supplying drugs across Southampton. 

As reported in the Echo, Choudhury was given ten years and four months whilst Baig was jailed for 14 years and six months. 

The court heard how the two men were responsible for running a drugs line between London and Eastleigh known as the Prince line. 

They were foiled when police raided their Station Road property on December 13, 2022 finding £30,000 worth of Class A drugs, cocaine, crack and heroin and £30,000 of cash. 

A Rolex watch and a firearm were also found.

Detective Constable James Pieri and Scott Pigott, who led the investigation, said: “Drugs, especially Class A drugs, cause massive harm to our community.

"As well as the damage it can cause to the life of the person taking them, the production and supply of drugs brings with it organised crime, serious violence, possession of firearms and exploitation of vulnerable adults and children.

“Baig and Choudhury were links in the supply chain which has been broken now that they have been put behind bars for a significant period of time. 

“It is vital that we keep working to reduce violent crime and keep people safe.

"Violence is linked to drugs and this is why we are tackling and disrupting the supply of drugs coming into the county.

“We hope that this sentence sends out a stark message to drug dealers that offences of this kind will not be tolerated".

They said police will do all they can to bring dealers to justice and that anyone with information should report it.

Baig pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs, possession of a firearm and acquiring/using/possessing criminal property.

Choudhury pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs and failure to provide a pin number for a mobile device. 

The judge said the pair were both from good families who would no doubt be dismayed.
