Three brothers jailed for ‘ruthlessly’ exploiting children in drugs empire
Three brothers have been jailed after ‘ruthlessly’ exploiting children and vulnerable people in Camden, London.
Ayub Moalin, 27, Adam Moalin, 26, and Anwer Moalin, 23, would ‘scourge’ residents ‘with persistent and significant drug dealing of heroin and crack cocaine.’
The trio were responsible for the movement of Class A drugs to more than 1,000 people over a ten month period.
They ran the ‘Jeremy’ drugs line around the Camden area, which distributed 1,100 bulk messages and sold approximately 5.3kgs of heroin and 1.72kgs of crack cocaine.
Detectives began investigating the siblings in December 2020 after the mobile phone that housed the ‘Jeremy’ drugs line was left abandoned in a vehicle that ran over a police officer causing substantial injuries.
The car was hired to Adam Moalin, and Anwer Moalin’s phone was also found inside the car.
Whilst running this line, police say the brothers ruthlessly exploited children and people with significant disabilities to deal with drugs on their behalf.
Both Adam and Ayub were the leading conspirators and their younger brother Anwer played a significant role taking direction from them both.
Specialist Crime detectives from the Met targeted the three criminals who were sentenced today at Wood Green Crown Court.
Ayub Moalin was sentenced to eight years and nine months’ imprisonment, Adam Moalin to six years and nine months’ imprisonment and Anwer Moalin to 11 years’ imprisonment.
Detective Sergeant Ollie Wright, from Specialist Crime, said: ‘The sentences handed down today represent the severity of the criminality involved and reinforce the fact that the Met will not tolerate organised criminality on our streets and will always pursue those who seek to bring misery and harm to Londoners.
‘The brothers ran an organised and lucrative criminal operation.
‘During the investigation we identified a group whose sole objective was to profit from the most vulnerable in society over a significant amount of time. They have caused so much damage to the local community, they should be ashamed.
‘We know that drug supply and violence on our streets are inextricably linked. Those involved cause misery to our communities, and we remain dedicated to bringing them before the courts.’
The three brothers were previously found guilty of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs, crack cocaine and heroin following a trial.
