A Bradford man has been found guilty of his part in a plot to smuggle heroin with a street value of more than £37 million

Noman Qureshi, 32, of Bracken Hill, was jailed for 21 years and his co-conspirator Israr Khan, 35, of Luton, received a prison sentence of 18 years.

The massive haul had been hidden in the  bumper, wheel arches, behind the dashboard, in the central console, the spare wheel compartment and in the engine and rear seating of a battered X-type Jaguar.

Police were able to find the drugs after the Jaguar was scanned with X-ray equipment, and its secret was revealed in an amazing set of pictures.

There were 316 packets of heroin weighing a total of 230 kilos hidden in secret compartments all over the car.

The car had arrived from Pakistan and the heroin was from the "fields of Afghanistan."

Today (Thursday) the two men were found guilty at Luton Crown Court of trying to bring the heroin into the UK.

The men were also convicted of conspiring with others to contravening section 170 of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1976.

A third man, Mohammed Safder, 43, of Sidney Elson Way, East Ham, London, who had pleaded not guilty to the charges was acquitted by the jury.

Before sentencing Phillip King for Qureshi said although his role had been a "significant one" in the conspiracy, he had not been "a financier, organiser or arranger."

Lewis Power QC for Khan who has two young children said his family had been left devastated by the verdicts of the jury.

Passing sentence Judge Barbara Mensah told Qureshi who has two children "Dealing in heroin is odious, pernicious and evil."
