A FORMER pharmacist from Huddersfield allegedly duped into storing two million stolen pills is to face a retrial.
Hafiz Noorullah, 43, was accused of keeping £1.7m of breast cancer, heart disease and Parkinson’s medication in his warehouse while a buyer was found for them.
After nearly six hours of deliberations, jurors at Southwark Crown Court cleared Noorullah of distributing medicine or products in breach of his wholesale dealer’s licence.
But they were discharged after failing to reach a verdict on one charge of handling stolen goods "on or before" November 11 2007.
The prosecution said they would be seeking a retrial on that count.
A hearing was fixed for December 18, and Noorullah was told he could remain on unconditional bail in the meantime.
