The leader of an "organised crime gang involved in supplying illegal drugs" has been jailed for 11 years at Londonderry Crown Court.
He also admitted being involved in a series of drug transactions including one between January 2 and February 9 2017 where a car was stopped and cannabis and cocaine found worth an estimated £700,000. The court heard that the offending came to light after police stopped vehicles carrying "significant quantities of drugs together with large sums of money" in 2016 and 2017.
The defendant was described as "one of a number of people who appeared to be organising and directing the purchase and transportation of illegal drugs".
