Four people have been sentenced to more than 24 years in prison at Leeds Crown Court.
On 16 September last year, officers stopped a vehicle on Harehills Lane, in Leeds and seized 1kg of cocaine with a street value of approximately £140,000.
Nathaniel Wisdom, 26, from Broadlea Avenue, Leeds, and Anton Brown, 19, from Stainbeck Road, Leeds were in the car at the time and enquiries led officers to two more people - Joshua Pyke, 28, from Clough Street, Morley, Leeds and Kane Dacosta, 24, from The Lane, Richmond Hill, Leeds.
The four now have a considerable amount of time inside to consider the consequences of their actions.
Kane Dacosta was found guilty of conspiracy to supply cocaine and money laundering and sentenced to 8 years and 6 months in prison.
Joshua Pyke and Anton Brown were found guilty of conspiracy to supply cocaine and sentenced to 7 years and 3 years and 6 months respectively.
Nathaniel Wisdom admitted conspiracy to supply cocaine and sentenced to 5 years and 8 months.
Detective Inspector Mark Long, of the Protective Services (Crime) team at West Yorkshire Police, said: "These sentences send out a strong message that this sort of criminal activity will not be tolerated in West Yorkshire. These four individuals were involved in a serious criminal enterprise and I am delighted that they are no longer able to ply their evil trade."
