Members of a Bradford-based organised crime gang have been jailed for more than 100 years after police uncovered what they described as an industrial-scale Class A drug supply operation.
Eleven men and one woman were sentenced at Bradford Crown Court on Monday for drug and money laundering offences.
Police said the gang was responsible for supplying more than 135kg of Class A drugs across Yorkshire, the Humber and beyond.

Police Call Investigation ‘Incredibly Complex’
Detective Inspector Kevin Daly, of the Force Precision team, described the case as an “incredibly complex investigation”.
He said numerous officers had been involved in dismantling what police described as a sophisticated conspiracy to supply Class A drugs on an industrial scale.
“The supply of illegal drugs fuels crime and serious violence in our communities and has devastating impacts,” he said.
DI Daly added that investigators had targeted all levels of the organised crime group, including those who profited from the operation.
