A mobile phone found in a car that ran over a police officer helped the Met break down a drugs line dealing crack and heroin across Camden.

Brothers Ayub Moalin, 27, Adam Moalin, 26, and Anwer Moalin, 23, all of Maitland Park Villas, Camden – were described by police as running “an organised and lucrative criminal operation”.

An investigation into the three brothers was launched after a mobile phone hosting the ‘Jeremy’ drugs line was left in a car that ran over a police officer in December 2020,  causing "substantial" injuries.

The vehicle was hired to Adam Moalin, and Anwer Moalin’s phone was also found inside the car.

The trio were responsible for the distribution of class A drugs to more than 1,000 individuals over a ten-month period.

Police said they ran the ‘Jeremy’ drugs line around Camden, selling approximately 5.3kg of heroin and 1.72kg of crack cocaine.

The brothers were arrested in June 2021 and eventually found guilty of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs, crack cocaine and heroin, at trial.

The three brothers were sentenced at Wood Green Crown Court today (April 18) as follows:

  • Ayub Moalin was sentenced to eight years and nine months’ imprisonment
  • Adam Moalin was sentenced to six years and nine months’ imprisonment
  • Anwer Moalin was sentenced to 11 years’ imprisonment

Detective Sergeant Ollie Wright, from Specialist Crime at the Metropolitan Police, said: “The sentences handed down today represent the severity of the criminality involved and reinforce the fact that the Met will not tolerate organised criminality on our streets and will always pursue those who seek to bring misery and harm to Londoners.

“The brothers ran an organised and lucrative criminal operation. During the investigation we identified a group whose sole objective was to profit from the most vulnerable in society over a significant amount of time.

“They have caused so much damage to the local community, they should be ashamed.

“We know that drug supply and violence on our streets are inextricably linked. Those involved cause misery to our communities, and we remain dedicated to bringing them before the courts.”

Police added that while running their drugs line the brothers ruthlessly exploited children and people with significant disabilities to deal on their behalf.

Both Adam and Ayub were described as the leading conspirators, and their younger brother Anwer was said to have played a significant role in the drugs line taking direction from them both.
