Sheffield drug dealer filmed himself covered in bank notes

Mustafa Mahmood filmed video of himself covered in cash gained from drug dealing

A drug dealer who filmed himself covered in bank notes has been jailed for more than six years.

Mustafa Mahmood, 28, recorded videos on his phone where he boasted about earning £1,000 a day through supplying drugs, South Yorkshire Police said.

Officers found £3,000 in cash at his home, along with heroin and cocaine with a street value of up to £25,000.

Mahmood admitted five drugs charges at Sheffield Crown Court.

He was sentenced to six years and six months in prison.

Police raided his home on 25 April and found a wooden chair being used as a chopping board for Mahmood to cut up lines of crack cocaine and heroin.

Several wraps of cocaine were found ready to be distributed to Mahmood's two drug lines in Barnsley and Sheffield, the force said.

Mahmood was described by police as a "smug" drug dealer who boasted about his illegal earnings

Officers recovered several mobile phones, on which they found his "boasting" videos.

PC Gareth Webb, who is based in the force's Operation Fortify department, said: "Mahmood had been dealing Class A drugs for several months under his street name of 'Boosta'.

"His run of good luck ended with a warrant executed by Fortify officers in April of this year and the amount of heroin and cocaine recovered identified him as a well-connected dealer making large sums of money through his criminality," he said.
