Five men who ran three drug lines out of Birmingham have been sentenced to prison. Andre Sargeant, Jayden Brown, Kymani Brade, Max Campbell and Remone Dunkley each played individual roles in the operation, which was uncovered by West Midlands Police. The men worked together in a coordinated drug supply network.
Investigation by County Lines Taskforce
The County Lines Taskforce (CLTF) launched an investigation and discovered that the drug lines, named "Mario, Luigi and Cam," were supplying Class A drugs from Highgate, Birmingham. Between October 2024 and February 2025, the five men sent and received thousands of messages related to drug dealing. They were arrested one by one following enforcement actions last year.
CLTF officers conducted an extensive investigation, examining phone records and thousands of data files and transactions. These were pieced together to demonstrate that the group worked in tandem for the common goal of supplying drugs. The CLTF, along with officers from Op Fearless and the Major Crime Unit, carried out enforcement at the home addresses of the five men, where they were all arrested.
Court proceedings and sentences
At Birmingham Crown Court, Jayden Brown pleaded guilty to conspiring to supply heroin and cocaine, as well as possession of heroin and cocaine with intent to supply. Andre Sargeant, Kymani Brade, Max Campbell and Remone Dunkley all pleaded guilty to conspiring to supply heroin and cocaine.
Brown, 24, from Selma Grove, Birmingham, was sentenced to six years and six months in prison. Sargeant, 28, from Rickman Drive, Birmingham, received a sentence of six years and nine months. Brade, 25, from Bellevue, Birmingham, was jailed for five years and nine months. Campbell, 29, from Brownsea, Birmingham, was sentenced to five years, and Dunkley, 25, of no fixed address, was jailed for four years.
Police statement
Detective Sergeant Craig Tennant, from the CLTF, said: "This was a significant and complex investigation into three drugs lines working in tandem. There can be no doubt from our enquiries that these men were responsible for a variety of drugs being dealt, which we know bring misery to communities.
"The group may have thought at one stage or another that they had gotten away with this, but will instead be serving long prison sentences. This is a message to other drug dealers that we are not letting up in our work to disrupt drug networks across the West Midlands."
