Two brothers have been arrested and charged with conspiracy to sell both crack cocaine and heroin.

Aamir Hussain, aged 31, and Eeaman Hussain, aged 19, were appearing at Birmingham Magistrates Court on Wednesday (June 3) for a first hearing.

West Midlands Police said the arrests were made on Tuesday (June 2) following enforcement action in the Sparkbrook area of the city.

The force said four arrests were made at a property on Lyncroft Road while a fifth arrest was made at an address at The Poplars.

Three other men have been bailed with strict conditions as enquiries continue.

Drugs were recovered during the operation as well as thousands of pounds in cash, while weapons including a knife and a hammer were also recovered.

A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: “We're currently running Operation Target which sees us take a defiant stand against a range of serious and organised crime offences.

“Officers use local intelligence, seize goods, carry out warrants and target offenders as part of Op Target’s ongoing crackdown against serious and organised crime.

“You can report crime to us by ringing 101 or alternatively Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.”
