A vile couple bagged up illegal substances in front of their young son while ordering their other teenage child to deal for them.
Zaara and Rafiq Jamadar were caught out by their own CCTV camera installed inside their home in Blackburn, Lancashire. The sickening footage shows the pair bagging up Spice in front of their young son. Lancashire Police said that they also 'used' their 17-year-old son to deal drugs on their behalf.
They have now been locked up following a hearing at Preston Crown Court. Zara Jamadar, 47, was sentenced to more than five years in prison, while Rafiq Jamadar, 50, received a sentence of just under five years.
The force said on X, formerly known as Twitter: "The couple in this CCTV clip are Zaara and Rafiq Jamadar from Blackburn. They recorded themselves on their own video camera bagging spice in front of their young son, who was thankfully oblivious to what was going on."
