Three men, who were described by a judge as 'commercial suppliers' of cocaine and cannabis in east Belfast, have been given prison sentences

Three men described by a judge as "commercial suppliers" of cocaine and cannabis have received jail sentences.Brothers Mark, 42, and Glenn Rainey, 36, were each given six-year sentences and 34-year-old William Hunter was given a 40-month sentence.

Hunter admitted supplying class C prescription drug diazepam between the same dates and having cannabis on 23 August last year.Previous court hearings were told that the men were arrested last August as part of a wider investigation into suspected crime connected to the east Belfast UVF. The judge said Glenn Rainey "was a significant player" in the illicit drugs trade and could rightly be described as having played a "leading role".
