A "GREEDY" shop worker who started selling cocaine as well as groceries has now been jailed.
Usman Hussain
Police received intelligence that three mobile phone numbers had been sending out thousands of bulk text messages to hundreds of people advertising drugs for sale, between December last year and May this year.
Investigations showed the phones had been topped up at a Best One shop in Northumberland where Usman Hussain was working, and above which he lived.
One of the phones had also made a dropped 999 call at one point and Hussain said his child had called by accident.
And he was further linked to the devices by cell site analysis.
