Two men are facing jail sentences for their roles in a major conspiracy to supply drugs in West Yorkshire.

A two-year police operation to smash the ring resulted in the seizure of heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and cannabis, valued at £500,000 on the streets.

Cars valued at £330,000 - including a Mercedes-Benz, Range Rover, Audi Q7 and Volkswagen Golf R32 - were also recovered.

Operation Village, run by West Yorkshire Police's Drugs and Organised Crime Unit and officers in the Calderdale division, led to the arrest of 20 men on suspicion of conspiracy to supply drugs and money laundering during three days of dawn raids last September.

Jail sentences totalling more than 61 years have been handed out, along with community orders, to 16 defendants.

They include Clive Davey, 38, of Wilson Road, Wyke, who was jailed for five years at Bradford Crown Court this month after pleading guilty to two charges of conspiracy to supply cocaine.

His case could not be reported until today because of the pending trial of another Bradford man, Scott Dunn, 27, of Wilsden.

Dunn pleaded guilty today to charges of conspiracy to supply cocaine and possessing ecstasy. Judge Christopher Prince adjourned sentencing for reports but warned Dunn to expect a prison sentence.

A third Bradford man, Craig Smith, 31, of St Mary's Crescent, Wyke, who pleaded guilty to supplying skunk cannabis, was given a 12-month community order and 100 hours community service.

Operation Village targeted the supply of drugs in Calderdale but Detective Superintendent Colin Prime, who led the investigation, said a number of people investigated had connections to the Bradford area.

He said: "They lived in Bradford and worked and dealt drugs in Calderdale. While our inquiries were predominantly focused on Calderdale, it is clear that, on a number of occasions, drugs were sourced in Bradford and delivered to Calderdale to be put on the streets."

Police took action after information from the public and amid fears there could be a violent drugs war. Det Supt Prime said: "We have seen in other towns and cities how violence has escalated because of wars between various drugs groups. We didn't want that to happen.

"Members of the community were complaining about people, who didn't work, driving around in big cars and clearly making vast sums of money through dealing.

"They were living the high life, with access to high-value, prestige vehicles. Money was no object and they lived in mortgage-free properties and were purchasing other properties.

"They were quite clearly laundering ill-gotten gains through the property markets.

"We will not tolerate drug dealing on any scale, nor the violence and anti-social behaviour that goes with it.

"These sentences should serve as a stark warning to others that if you deal drugs you risk having your liberty taken away. We have shown we are committed to taking out people dealing drugs on the streets and getting those who use drugs into treatment."

He said undercover police officers became involved with Clive Davey at an early stage and he was a significant dealer in drugs. Dunn was also able to source large quantities of drugs and deal them.
