A wannabe kingpin from Lancashire who exploited vulnerable people into selling heroin and crack cocaine has been jailed.
Lancashire Police launched Operation Picasso to take down the Pablo Line, which was run by defendant Amir Shah. Officers gathered evidence which proved Shah conspired with co-defendants Pavol Kantor and Shaun Dowd to supply Class A drugs between August 2021 and February 2022. On September 2, 2021, police stopped a man and a woman in Colne who were found to be in possession of heroin and crack cocaine.
On February 17, 2022, a warrant was obtained for Kantor’s house in Colne. Officers found heroin, crack cocaine and a burner phone. Enquiries revealed that three burner phones attributed to the Pablo Line had been in Shah’s possession throughout the length of the conspiracy. Following consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service, the three defendants were charged with conspiring to supply crack cocaine and heroin – offences they subsequently pleaded guilty to.
