Seven Manchester men jailed for plot to supply cocaine

    Seven members of a drugs gang in Manchester have been jailed following a manhunt.

    The gang plotted to flood the coastal resort of Scarborough, North Yorkshire, with significant quantities of cocaine from across the Pennines.

    Five of the men were imprisoned earlier this year and two others who went on the run were finally brought to justice following a huge manhunt conducted by police forces across the north.

    Paul Daniel Heaton, 26, was tracked down in North Wales and the ringleader, Sonny Elms, 24, was found in Manchester.

    They have all now been imprisoned for a total of 50 years.
