A drugs courier who was found with almost £4 million worth of cocaine in his car after being pulled over by police has been jailed for 13-and-a-half years.
Stunned officers discovered the massive haul of Class-A drugs wrapped with "King Pro" packaging during a traffic stop in Balsall Common.
The driver Conrad Byrd, 50, was arrested at the scene after being pulled over on Kenilworth Road on March 14.
Following searches of his vehicle, officers found over 25 kilos of cocaine, with a street value of approximately £3,800,000.
Further searches were carried out at his home address in Sidcup, Bexley, South East London, where further kilos of drugs were found along with cash.
Detectives found Byrd had conducted multiple trips between the West Midlands and London in order to courier Class A Drugs for an Organised Crime Group.
He pleaded guilty to conspiring to supply Class A drugs over a three month period and was jailed at Birmingham Crown Court on Friday 13 June.
