A man has been convicted for conspiracy to supply heroin worth £800,000 after a police operation on the M40 in Oxfordshire.
Murat Over, 27, was arrested on October 19 last year as he escorted a Renault Megane containing ten kilos of heroin down the motorway near Bicester.
Over had met the driver of the Renault, Kevin Milton, earlier that day at the car park of Solihull Hospital, near Birmingham, where the drugs were transferred to the Megane.
Robert Spencer-Bernard, prosecuting, told Oxford Crown Court yesterday Over was the mastermind of the operation. Over denied the charges but was found guilty.
His co-conspirators, Milton, and Hassan Pellut, who accompanied Over in his car, both pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply class A drugs.
The trio are to be sentenced later this month.
