Menacing caller threatened to carry out drive-by shooting on Leeds police station

Ahmed Ayub was later traced through cell-site information and arrested. The 37-year-old had made the bizarre call to the station on August 17, 2022, Leeds Crown Court was told.

He asked to speak with an officer whom he named, but was told by the phone handler that he did not know who the officer was. Ayub then said the officer had been dealing drugs and that he owed Ayub £60,000. He refused to give his name but then said if he didn't receive his cash he had a gun and was going to carry out a drive-by.
