Two men have been jailed for three years each after throwing a package of heroin out on to the M6 motorway in July.

Kasar Jehangir and Adil Aftab, both from Birmingham, admitted possession with intent to supply Class A drugs at Birmingham Crown Court.

Staffordshire Police say the men were arrested in July after following a car travelling over 120 mph and weaving in between lanes.

After an unmarked police car tried to pull-over the driver, a 34g package of heroin was thrown out of the car window, causing clouds of brown dust, officers said.

The M6 southbound was closed around junction 12 while the drugs were recovered.
