A man has gone on trial accused of being part of a conspiracy to supply Class A drugs in Bolton.

Police raided numerous properties in March this year and recovered large amounts of money and substances, a court heard.

Saacid Nahir, 23, is on trial at Bolton Crown Court accused of being involved in a conspiracy to sell the drugs.

Prosecutors allege he was involved in plans to sell cocaine and heroin between June 17 last year and March 3 this year.

He is also accused of possessing cash which was the result of criminal activity.

The court heard properties in Westhoughton and Bolton were raided in March.

After this Anthony Pollard, 35, of Ainsdale Road, has pleaded guilty to the same charges Nahir faces.

He was identified as the ringleader of the group and was known as "Shorty".

The court also heard the home of Nahir on Harvest Park was raided and drugs and £15,770 in cash was found.

Police also raided a home on Oxford Grove where Nahir was found in the front room.

On Wednesday, Anna Bond, prosecuting, said: “There was over £6,000 in cash at that property, and over £25,000 worth of drugs.

“He had no shoes on and that is good evidence he had just woken up.

“Almost all of the drugs that were found in that property were found in that room.

“There were 122 grams of heroin and 115 grams of cocaine.

“There were 1,380 individual wraps.

“Other drugs were found in the kitchen, there were 13.46 grams of cocaine in there.”

She said there was a line known as the “shotter line”, which was two pay as you go phones which were used sell drugs.

The prosecutor also said a note section of a phone with Nahir had a note section documenting money owed.

She said that as Pollard has pleaded guilty to being involved in the conspiracy the jury could be sure there was one, the question was whether Nahir was involved.

Ms Bond said there were four key pieces of evidence against Nahir.

She said: “First – all the stuff found in his room where he was arrested.

“There were drugs, paraphernalia, scales and there was cash.

“He had just woken up, the crown say this is clear evidence he was staying there.

“Secondly the evidence from his phone.

“There is a note section which is clear evidence of a man who had some organised role.

“Thirdly – his phone number was frequently used to buy taxis to and from Oxford Grove.

“Fourthly – on October 24 the shotter line phone was topped up, this was seen on CCTV, it was Mr Nahir.”

Nahir, of Harvest Park, Bolton, denies the allegation against him.

The trial, before Judge Tom Gilbart, continues.
