A couple have been jailed after police found a drugs stash worth £3 million at their home.

Rebecca Chin, 31, of Cookfield Close, Dunstable and Ali Adil Parvez, 31, of Easingwold Gardens, Luton were jailed for a total of 34 years at Snaresbrook Crown Court today (Wednesday, October 19).

Chin was jailed for 13 years and Parvez was jailed for 15 years for conspiracy to supply drugs.

Parvez was given an additional six years for firearms offences.

The sentencing follows an investigation by the Trident and Area Crime Command into drugs supply in Newham borough.

On July 16, 2015, officers caught the pair, who were in a relationship, putting two bags of cocaine and cannabis into Chin's car in a car park in East Ham.

The couple were arrested and a search of Chin's home recovered more cocaine and cannabis, as well as heroin, cash and drugs paraphernalia.

Cocaine was also found in Parvez’s home.

The pair were charged with conspiracy to supply drugs and possession of criminal property on July 17, 2015.

The street value of the drugs recovered was £2,476,800 for the heroin, £400,635 for the cannabis and £199,820 for the cocaine.

Following the arrests, detectives linked a car belonging to Parvez to the delivery of two firearms and ammunition in Hackney on February 18 2015.

The weapons were seized and another man was jailed for a total of five years in June 2015 for possessing the guns and ammunition.

This delivery was later found to have been carried out by Chin under the direction of Parvez.

Chin and Parvez were further charged on 30 September 2015 with nine firearms offences, including possession of a firearm, possession of ammunition and the sale/transfer of firearms and ammunition.

Chin and Parvez pleaded guilty to the drugs and criminal property offences at Snaresbrook Crown Court on December 11 2015.

Parvez pleaded guilty to the nine firearms offences on June 2 2016.

The judge agreed that the firearms charges against Chin should lie on file.

Detective Inspector Steve Meechan, from the Trident and Area Crime Command, said:"The substantial custodial sentences handed down by the court today should act as a significant deterrent to those involved in criminal and gang related activity.

"These convictions were part of a complex operation by Trident officers to target organised criminal networks that are using firearms to enforce their drug trafficking activity."
