By Ryan Parker 10th Jun 2026
Four men have been jailed after admitting conspiracy to steal cars across Cheshire, including Crewe, Congleton and Sandbach.
Asad Ali, 24 from Ermington Crescent, Birmingham, Hasan Ali, 26, also from Emington Crescent, Kian Brisban-Drawles, 25, from Nafford Grove, Birmingham, and Mohammed Haroon, 29, from Roon End Road, Birmingham appeared at Chester Crown Court on 27 May for their part in the conspiracy.
Asad Ali was jailed for four years, Hasan Ali was jailed for four years and two months, Haroon was jailed for three years in prison and Brisbane-Drawles was jailed for one year and nine months.
An investigation by Crewe Proactive CID identified 14 cars stolen from driveways across the country including Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Birmingham and Hampshire were linked to the gang of thieves.
Their crime spree occurred between 1 May 2025 and 25 July 2025.
They first came to the attention of the team when cars were stolen from driveways in Congleton Sandbach and Haslington.
The cars had been stolen without their keys. The men had used a piece of equipment that reads the signal from the car keys in the house to open the car door and start the engine. This was found in a car belonging to Haroon when he was arrested
A car used in their crimes was also registered to Hassan and which was also used by his brother Asad. The keys were found on Hassan.
A subsequent search of their address uncovered a large amount of car parts in the garage. These were identified as being parts of cars that were reported stolen from various areas of the country.
Officers went on to link the men to the thefts with evidence that put them in the cars and the addresses of the victims from phone analysis to CCTV and other investigative methods. They also discovered they talked about the cars and their crimes in messages on their phones.
DC Ben Harrington said:"These men worked together to steal high value cars but made the mistake of targeting Cheshire residents.
"They are now facing the consequences of their actions."
