Nine members of a drugs gang, responsible for supplying cocaine | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
into Gloucestershire, have been sent to prison. They were tracked down by | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
an undercover team of detectives during a year`long investig`tion. | :04:13. | :04:14. | |

Just some of large amounts of benzocaine seized by the police as | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
part of Operation Bonn. When mixed with cocaine, it represents well | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
over ?1 million of drugs on the streets of Gloucestershire `nd the | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
true value could be much higher The mastermind behind the operation was | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
this man ` Rodney Brissett. What we have been able to do is not only | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
take out the entire structure of how Rodney Brissett was dealing in | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
Gloucester, take out all thd people who were working for him, btt we | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
have been able to go outsidd the force and disrupt a substantial | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
supply route into the countx. His empire collapsed when he was | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
arrested while he cycled to Carlton Road in March last year to collect a | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
kilo of cocaine. Inside the delivery van, detectives also found ?43, 00 | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
in a shoe box. This is just one of the places, here on the outskirts of | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
Gloucester, used by drugs boss Rodney Brissett to meet fellow gang | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
members when they travelled down from Leicester. They had no idea | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
they were being targeted by undercover officers. Another | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
dominant figure in the crimd organisation was Mohammed T`gari | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
from Gloucester. He was the go`between for Brissett and Skender | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
Gashi, who was the supplier. Rodney Brissett was handed eight ydars and | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
six months, Mohammed Tagari was jailed for 13 and a half ye`rs, and | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
Skender Gashi will serve a seven and half year sentence. Jailing the nine | :05:29. | :05:38. | |
men for a total of more than fifty years, Judge Longman told them: For | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
some the profits in this sort of conspiracy are high, but yot knew | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
that the stakes were high too. The judge added that drugs causd misery | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
