Investigating officer DC Chris Townrow said: ”This was a sophisticated and well organised criminal operation and to have secured guilty pleas early on demonstrates the compelling but complex evidence that they were all facing.
"This group were determined to sell on the streets of Ipswich bringing misery to residents and vulnerable people.
"We have taken apart their business, disrupted their criminal activity and secured convictions against all offenders involved.
“This is the kind of activity we are targeting and we will continue to take robust action against those who deal drugs around the county.
"I am pleased with today’s sentence and it should be a warning to those dealing that we will not tolerate it."
