Five people have been sentenced to a total of 14 years in prison for their part in running a county line from London to Wiltshire.
All five appeared at Winchester Crown Court on January 17 after previously pleading guilty.
Stephen Adetoyi, 26, of Orchard Vale, Midsomer Norton, was sentenced to four years in prison for being concerned in the supply of cocaine and being concerned in the supply of cannabis in Avon and Somerset.
Jake Edmunds, 24, of Ashley Road, Salisbury was sentenced to 33 months in prison for being concerned in the supply of cocaine.
Jack Roche, 28, of Pinewood Way, Salisbury, was sentenced to three years in prison for being concerned in the supply of cocaine.
Jonathan Turford, 41, of Philip Road, Wilton, was sentenced to 30 months in prison for being concerned in the supply of cocaine.
Gerard Mulimbi, 21, of Broadgate, London, was sentenced to two years in prison for being concerned in supply of cocaine.
A sixth man who was also arrested last April was released without charge.
It comes after officers carried out a series of warrants in Salisbury, London and the Avon and Somerset area in April 2024 and seized around 250g of cocaine along with more than £1500 in cash.
Detective Sergeant Ted Roe said: “These men were clearly dealing drugs in our area and are now rightly in jail.
"Illegal drugs fill our communities with misery, suffering and fear and those who prey upon the vulnerable in our society are driven by profits; they do not care about the pain they cause.
"We will not hesitate to take robust action against those we suspect of dealing in drugs, and we welcome any information which can help bring people like these criminals to justice.”
If you suspect drug offences are taking place in your area, please call us on 101. In an emergency always call 999.
