A 21-year-old woman who controlled a Norfolk county lines drug operation is to be sentenced next month so a pre-sentence report can be prepared.

Saleha Saed ran the so-called Fat Boy line, which brought three kilos of heroin and cocaine from London to Great Yarmouth between July 2021 and June 2022.

Norwich Crown Court has heard Saed controlled other gang members, including Nathan Si, who she was in a relationship with, and Tremayne Ndikumana.

Saed, from London, appeared at court on Monday (February 5) having previously admitted two counts of conspiracy to supply class A drugs.

She also admitted arranging or facilitating the travel of another person with a view to exploitation.

Judge Anthony Bate said a pre-sentence report needed to be prepared and adjourned sentence until March 25.

In December, Ndikumana, then 20 and from Essex, and Si, then 21 and from London, were sentenced having both previously admitted two counts of supplying drugs of class A.

Ndikumana received four years detention in a young offenders institution (YOI) and Si got three years and four months.
