Detectives have said they have ‘completely smashed’ a deadly gun running network after the jailing of a final Burger Bar Boys -linked gang member.
Kumran Ghalib, 35, was jailed for 12 years despite initially fleeing to Pakistan after police swooped on criminals who were converting antique guns and manufacturing special bullets for them.
Ghalib was arrested at Birmingham Airport in January this year when he returned to the UK. He was jailed after being found guilty of conspiring with others to transfer prohibited weapons and ammunition, following a trial at Birmingham Crown Court.
Other gang members had previously been handed prison sentences totalling 204 years for their role in the deadly trade, including Burger Bar Boys ‘godfather’ Nosakhere Stephenson, who was jailed for 22 years. They included: Joynal Abdin, 26, Mohammed Fedar, 27, Amar Ghalib, 32, Rowan Gul, 33, Usman Hussain, 31, Ifran Hussain, 25, Joga Mattu, 31, Mohammed Selu Miah, 24, Janed Mohammed, 21, and Mohammed Ullah, 19.
