"This investigation is another great example of how the combined policing efforts of Operation Moonshot, Great Yarmouth Neighbourhood Policing Teams, Beat Managers and response officers working together does lead to the disruption and dismantling of drug networks.

"Our officers work alongside the Eastern Region Specialist Operations Unit to target the assets of criminals and make sure that no one benefits from such criminal conduct. The results of these custodial sentences show that it's simply not worth dealing drugs in Norfolk.

"If anyone is concerned about drug dealing in their local community or has any information about this happening in their area, please do not hesitate to contact us on 101. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously online or by calling 0800 555 111."
