A drug dealer was jailed after filming himself boasting 'Special delivery!' while packing cannabis. Bungling Salam Abdul, 22, recorded the footage on his mobile phone as he packaged eight kilos of the drug worth around £160,000. Police raided the house and found Abdul putting the vacuum-sealed cannabis into a cardboard box. He immediately said 'the weed is not mine'.
Abdul appeared at Liverpool Crown Court alongside Marvin Haid, 22, and John Gray, 21, both from Liverpool. The court heard that police officers watched a white van arrive at the property in Toxteth, Liverpool, on February 7 last year.
Dan Travers, prosecuting, said two men got out of the vehicle, one carrying a cardboard box and the other a black bin bag. He said they contained vacuum-packed bags of cannabis, which Abdul filmed on his phone. The property was searched and Abdul was found repackaging the cannabis. Mr Travers said: 'He immediately said "the weed is not mine".' All three men pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply cannabis. Phil Astbury, defending Abdul, admitted he had played a significant role in the conspiracy but said it was 'a one-off'. He said: 'It may well be the fact that it was recorded on video shows what a novelty it was to this defendant.' Mr Astbury said Abdul struggled to come to terms with his dad's death, was on anti-depressants and owed money to those above him in the gang's chain of command. Judge Alan Conrad, QC, said: 'This conspiracy was orchestrated by someone at a higher level than you. 'Nevertheless, you all played a significant part.' He jailed Abdul for 20 months, Haid for 12 months and handed Gray a 10-month sentence, suspended for two years.
Abdul was jailed for 20 months, Haid for 12 months and the third man Gray was given a 10-month sentence, suspended for two years
