Drug dealing husband & wife Tiffany Davies and Rais Ali jailed for Smethwick crimes

A husband and wife drug dealing team have been jailed for almost 15 years after being arrested with a heroin stash worth up to £90,000.

West Midlands Police also found thousands of pounds of cash in Tiffany Davies’ handbag. Davies had commuted from Stoke-on-Trent to Smethwick, and subsequent investigations from the West Midlands Police Regional Organised Crime Unit (ROCU) showed her husband Rais Ali had co-ordinated the journey in December 2018.

The arrests came after WMP acted on intelligence and stopped a vehicle Davies was travelling in near the M5 in Sandwell. Phone records also showed Ali had made three journeys from Staffordshire to Smethwick across November and December.

Ali, aged 34 and Davies, 26, and both of Josiah Wedgwood Street, Stoke-on-Trent, were convicted of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs. Ali was sentenced to 10 years in jail and Davies to four years and four months at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Wednesday (7 December).

A spokesperson for West Midlands Police said: “Drugs can ruin lives and lead to other crimes to fund habits.  We remain committed to putting dealers behind bars and taking drugs off the streets.”
