Episode Details

A slick young hustler named Ahmed Mohammed got caught smuggling four hundred thousand pounds worth of weed into the UK—straight-up telling cops he “sells weed” while flying in from Hong Kong. But his troubles weren’t over: months later, he and a crew of London club-hoppers pulled off brazen phone snatchings, using hugs and distractions to steal devices right off unsuspecting victims—including one caught on camera. When police nabbed them, stolen phones were stuffed in Mohammed’s shoes, linking him to a drug ring via incriminating messages. He walked away with 22 months in a youth facility for theft and drugs, while his crew faced sentences from 14 months to over two years for their roles in the high-stakes snatches.
