Drugs courier awaits fate after decade on run - Local News - News - Gazette Live: "ONE-TIME fugitive’s future hangs in the balance today after he spent a decade on the run following a major drugs raid.
Former gym manager Zaffer Majid, 48, faced the music for a large narcotics seizure after fleeing UK justice to Pakistan more than 10 years ago.
He was caught delivering a sports bag packed with 684g of heroin to his Middlesbrough workplace back in April 1999, Teesside Crown Court heard yesterday.
The high-purity drugs, split into 25- ounce packages, were worth £25,000 in bulk, £37,600 broken down into deals, at the time.
Prosecutor Jolyon Perks said Majid brought the bag of drugs to the Cleveland Health Spa on Bright Street, which he ran.
Police found the sizeable stash behind the reception desk.
Officers in the former National Crime Squad, targeting the supply of large amounts of heroin in the town under Operation Paisley, were watching Majid and his gym."
