A drug trafficking ring supplying north and west Kent has been dismantled, resulting in multiple convictions and prison sentences.

The group, active since 2019, distributed cocaine, MDMA, cannabis, and other drugs using stolen vehicles with false plates. Investigators identified and arrested numerous dealers over two years, seizing drugs, cash, and stolen vehicles.

The ringleader and several associates were convicted of conspiracy to supply drugs, with additional charges for handling stolen property and money laundering. Following a trial and guilty pleas, eight individuals were sentenced, with prison terms ranging from suspended sentences to over eight years.
