Pair ran £3.7m racket like an online shop

- BY DAN WARBURTON

TWO dark web dealers were so busy they had a computer program taking orders as they raked in millions.

Jehanzeb Amar and Salahydin Warsame, both 29, ran a social media site called

LetsWork, shipping cocaine, ecstasy and LSD to more than 1,000 subscriber­s. They were caught after police swooped on Warsame’s van close to a post office in Birmingham and found 61 packages of drugs ready to mail to addresses throughout the UK. Analysis identified £3.7m had been received by LetsWork through the pair’s cryptocurr­ency accounts. Amar got 13-and-ahalf years and Warsame 10and-a-half at Birmingham Crown Court last April.
