A gang armed with machetes and shotguns raided a rival's home in Sparkhill, Birmingham, in May 2021, stealing nearly £250,000 worth of cocaine and heroin. The attack left one man injured and was captured on CCTV. Following the raid, police recovered drugs hidden in a nearby park and arrested nine gang members in October 2021. They were found to control multiple drug lines in Birmingham and had posed for photos with the stolen drugs. In January 2025, the gang members received sentences totaling over 77 years. The leader, Mohammed Imran Khan, was sentenced to 14 years and two months, while other members received varying sentences for their roles in the drug operation.
