Armed police ripped through the front door of a gang leader's house after he flooded the streets with £2million worth of drugs in just three months.
Officers arrested Asrar Rafiq, 35, after they cracked the secretive EncroChat messaging service used by organised criminals.
He used the encrypted systems to boast about his wealth, under the name 'Wisehorse', to discuss drug deals and offer weapons including including AK47S and Uzis, to other criminals.
Rafiq continued to sell drugs and weapons despite being one of 12 gang members given an injunction in 2014 after being described as a leading member of the Bordesley Green gang in Birmingham.
A court heard he had supplied 28kg of heroin and cocaine, worth around £2million, over three months.
