A text message sent by police to customers on a drug dealer s phone
The phone was seized as part of an investigation into a drugs network that is supplying up to £3,000 worth of cocaine a day across Birmingham and into Worcestershire.
Four men have been charged with drugs supply and are on remand in prison awaiting trial.
Analysis of the dealer hotline revealed the mobile numbers of more than 2,000 contacts who were receiving SMS marketing updates from the drugs line.
