- Rachael Burford

A DRUG dealer who brazenly sold illicit substances in heart of the West End has been jailed for 40 months.

Massihulla­h Mohmand, 24, below, was named by Met detectives in a top-10 list of the most wanted suppliers in Soho in January. An undercover operation had identified him as one of those helping to flood the area with class A drugs.

Mohmand, of Ealing, was caught selling crack cocaine and heroin on four occasions last year, Southwark crown court heard at his sentencing yesterday. At a hearing in July he admitted three counts of being concerned in the supply of a class A drugs and three of supplying a controlled drug.

Police cracked down after street deals were caught on camera and drug offences rose almost 40 per cent in the area. In November the Standard revealed footage of a suspect on a bike passing wraps taken from his mouth to a customer at 1.45pms. The Met made 26 arrests in raids in December and January.
