Jailed: £2.5 million drug trio trapped in Bridgnorth police sting
Three men have been jailed for a combined 28 years after a National Crime Agency sting operation caught them red-handed exchanging £2.5 million worth of cocaine in Bridgnorth.
Millions of pounds of Class A drugs could have got onto the streets if the police had not intervened.
Officers swooped on the men after the exchange of drugs at an industrial estate in the town, a court was told.
The men appeared for sentencing at Birmingham Crown Court on Friday, after earlier pleading guilty to conspiring to supply class A drugs.
Tayyab Iqbal, 32, of Coventry Road, Birmingham, was jailed for 16 years.
Andrew Worby, 44, of West Royd Road, Shipley, West Yorkshire, and Onasis Depass, 32, also of West Royd Road, Shipley, each received six-year jail sentences.
