11 men have been handed prison sentences or periods in youth custody for their role in a large-scale conspiracy selling drugs in Telford.
Birmingham Crown Court heard that heroin, crack cocaine and cannabis were sold by the group to hundreds of customers.
Michael Duck QC, prosecuting, said that Sandip Paul, 20, led the supply of the Class A drugs and was supported by Nasser Khan, 20, who provided a link to the supply, and Waqar Hussain, 21, who took over from Paul after he was arrested in March last year.
