A REDDITCH man in a drug supply racket has been ordered to hand over more than £28,000 of his ill gotten gains.

Police Operation Bonn saw 11 men, led by Gloucester drugs baron Reuben Brissett, being jailed for a total of 55 years in court hearings last year.

Since they were sentenced there has been a series of confiscation hearings under the Proceeds of Crime Act, which has seen in excess of £500,000 recovered.

The operation finally ended when Premjit Rai, 27, of Fairford Close in Redditch, appeared for a confiscation hearing at Gloucester Crown Court and accepted he had benefited from his role in the racket by £39,940.

He also accepted that he has assets, which includes a Golf GTi, worth about £28,439 to £28, 469 which are available for confiscation.

Judge Willliam Hart made a confiscation order in that sum and told Rai that if he has not paid within six months he will serve 14 months in jail in default.

Rai, who acted as a go-between and brought samples of the drug mephedrone, known as M-Cat or meow-meow, to Gloucester to show Brissett, received a 12-month prison sentence last year.

Brissett had been stopped travelling towards Gloucester on the M5 in October 2013 and nearly £40,000 of the drug was found in the boot of his car.

The 36-year-old, of Bristol Road in Gloucester, was jailed for six-and-a-half years last June for conspiring to flood the city's streets with both cannabis and M-Cat.

As part of Operation Bonn, police swooped on a delivery organised by Brissett and found 15kg of cannabis in a vehicle on the M5.

Two of his brothers were also involved in the plot.
