According to the NCA, when officers were searching Nosheen’s home, on Woodside Road in Wyke, after her arrest, they also found boxes of plastic-wrapped clothing waiting to be opened, along with the remnants and debris of boxes already processed.

Hundreds of phone messages to an accomplice in Pakistan about supplying heroin in the UK were also discovered.

Meanwhile, evidence was found that Nosheen had distributed multi-kilo drugs consignments to people in the UK, and on one occasion she had collected £250,000 for the organised crime group from a criminal in Bradford.

Nosheen had been due to stand trial at Bradford Crown Court, but was sentenced after changing her plea and admitting conspiracy to supply heroin and conspiracy to import heroin.

Mr MacKenzie said Nosheen “didn’t give a second’s thought to the damage heroin wreaks on society, she was solely interested in making money”.
