Batley man jailed for role in supplying Class A drugs

Nabeel Gul was linked to the distribution of “kilo quantities” of drugs, including cocaine and heroin.

Officers found several ounces of cocaine and £107,000 in cash when they arrested him in December 2021.

Gul, 38, of Woodside Crescent, Batley, admitted conspiracy to supply cocaine and heroin at an earlier hearing. He also admitted a money laundering offence.

Appearing before Leeds Crown Court for sentencing on June 13, Gul was sentenced to six years and six months for the cocaine offence, four years and one month for the heroin offence, and two years and four months for the money laundering offence. The sentences will run concurrently.

Detective Sergeant Chris McGlynn of West Yorkshire Police’s Programme Precision team said:

“Our investigation focused on Batley, Dewsbury, Heckmondwike, Ravensthorpe and Wakefield where we found that Gul’s involvement linked him to supplying kilo quantities of Class A drugs.

“I’m pleased that he is now behind bars serving a lengthy sentence for his illegal activities.”
