A DRUGS gang was brought to justice thanks to footage from the home CCTV system of one of its members.

Detectives said the movements of Usman Yousuf, Mohammed Majeed and Azaan Tariq were captured and recorded on Yousuf’s cameras.

An investigation into the trio by Greater Manchester Police’s Serious Organised Crime Group uncovered 23 kilos of cocaine and more than £15,000 in cash.

On Friday, July 22, last year, at around 8pm, the footage showed Yousuf arriving home with a large, heavy, blue holdall.

An hour later, Majeed was seen arriving at the same address then leaving with the blue holdall, which he was seen dropping off at the shipping container in Rochdale later the same night.
