A 30-year-old Bradford man has been jailed for five years for possession of almost 8kg of heroin with intent to supply it.

Tasawar Hussain, a father of two, of Lime Tree Square, Saltaire, was convicted of the offence by a jury at Bradford Crown Court today.

His barrister, Andrew Dallas, conceded after the guilty verdict that a prison sentence was inevitable.

The heroin was seized on the A650 at Drighlington in May.
