Five members of a Gloucestershire-based drugs gang are behind bars for their part in a cocaine supply ring.

Gloucester Crown Court heard the operation, which included transporting cocaine from Leicester, was masterminded by Mark Dainty, 45.

Dainty, of Southgate Street, Gloucester, pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to supply cocaine and money laundering.

He was jailed for nine-and-a-half years. Three others received sentences of almost 15 years.

Footage shot from a police helicopter in 2011 shows the moment one of the group's couriers was arrested.

LOL he tosses the coke not knowing the helicopter is above with a damn good camera. He just made the case open & shut. If it were me I would have a container full of battery acid in the van to destroy the coke first sign of the bullshit.

wonder if that woman was part of the group or just his gf/wife and if she got jailed too.

I o nce remember watching one of those yank programmes about the police, the o nes with that retired detective with the overly white teeth... when it showed some footage of the police in England chasing some criminals down the motorway, videoed from a helicopter. They put ridiculous sound effects over it o f the old fashioned British sirens, cuckoos and church fucking bells! If this was presented on an American TV show, they'd have dubbed dog barkings, car brakes and bells ringing, and the sound of tea drinking too, no doubt!
