County lines gang jailed after Dorset probe

Three men have been jailed after a police investigation into a county lines drug network.

Detectives from Dorset Police uncovered an organised crime group operating a drugs line based in Bournemouth that supplied crack cocaine and heroin across Dorset as well as into London and Scotland.

The investigation by the Serious Organised Crime Investigation Team identified those responsible for the operation, with around £7000 worth of class A drugs seized during enquiries carried out between July 2022 and January 2023.

Sadiq Mohamed, 37, from Southall in London, pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin and was sentenced to 7 years in prison.

Cabdi Mohamed, 27, from Aberdeen, admitted the same offences and was jailed for 3 years and 6 months, while 23 year old Parsa Boustan from Wandsworth in London was sentenced to 3 years.

All three men were sentenced at Bournemouth Crown Court on Friday 6 March 2026.

Detective Constable Ade Stocker said the case sends “a clear message that this type of criminal activity will not be tolerated in our communities”.
