Lobib Sherav, 22, was jailed for more than seven years after police found 87 wraps of crack cocaine and 36 wraps of heroin in his car in Bradford.

Lobib Sherav, 22, from Leeds, was jailed for more than seven years after police found 87 wraps of crack cocaine and 36 wraps of heroin in his car during a police operation in Bradford. He was arrested on 15 September after officers spotted him acting suspiciously at a block of flats in the Leeds Road area. The drugs had a street value of £1,100, Bradford Crown Court heard.

At the time of his arrest, Sherav was already subject to Leeds Crown Court bail following his arrest for drugs offences in September 2022. He had also been arrested and released under investigation after being stopped in a car in Bradford in April this year. At a hearing in November, he admitted a series of drugs offences including possession with intent to supply cocaine and heroin, being concerned in the supply of cocaine and ketamine, and possession with intent to supply cocaine and ketamine.

The court heard that Sherav had a difficult upbringing and had committed the earlier offences in Leeds when he was only 18 and still in care. His barrister Matthew Stewart said that after losing a quantity of drugs in 2022, Sherav had to repay that debt and continued to be involved in dealing. Mr Stewart said his client had 'fallen in with the wrong crowd' but knew he was at a crossroads in his life.
