Man jailed after thousands of litres of date rape drug found in storage

Police say the 2,256-litre seizure was one of London’s largest and also uncovered cash, crystal meth, ammunition and a firearm.

  • On Thursday, Ahoor Ramabark Fathi, 61, was sentenced to 12 years in prison at Isleworth Crown Court after pleading guilty to possession with intent to supply Class A and Class B drugs, plus firearm and ammunition charges.
  • Greater Manchester Police alerted the Met's Specialist Crime Unit to large-scale GBL shipments moving from Manchester to London, prompting officers to identify Fathi through months of phone data analysis.
  • Officers recovered 2,256 litres of GBL stored in 188 boxes, alongside £100,000 in cash, 456g of crystal meth, ammunition, and a firearm discovered at his Ealing property.
  • Detective Inspector Mark Gavin stated that drug supply causes "significant harm" to communities and is often linked to exploitation; the seizure prevented substantial quantities from reaching London streets.
  • The Met Police recognizes that victims often face barriers to reporting crimes linked to drug exploitation and encourages anyone affected by these illicit activities to come forward and speak with officers.
