BUSTED AT HARRODS

A FLASH dealer who ran a huge drugs business via Snapchat was caught during a trip to luxury store Harrods.

Kashif Sadiq headed the Glasgow-based mob, working under the names Dr Greengo and Rodger Dodger.

But the 32-year-old's crime clan was busted after undercover police posed as customers looking to buy drugs.

Sadiq was snared in August 2021 while trying to access a safety deposit box he had at Harrods in London's Knightsbridge, where he had hidden just some of his ill-gotten gains.

Detectives went on to find £282,350 in cash, £63,000 of gold bars and £140,200 of Rolex and other luxury watches.

Sadiq and six associates now face lengthy jail terms after they all pled guilty to a charge of being involved in serious organised crime in 2021.

The sophisticated operation was set up like a regular business, including online adverts for promotions and "special offers".

Sadiq even had a top with the "company" Dr Greengo logo.

Prosecutor Paul Harvey explained: "Drugs would be supplied to members of the public who could place orders over social media, principally through Snapchat."
