Three drug dealers have been jailed for a total of almost 30 years for their roles in a supply network which involved the sale of cocaine with a street value of more than £5 million

The men were part of a criminal gang whose illegal activities were uncovered following the cracking of the heavily encrypted mobile phone service, EncroChat.

Brothers Aaron and Gray Elcombe communicated on the secret messaging system by using handles named Tasteful Revolver, Urban Bonsai and Striking Boat. They contacted other criminals to help buy and sell at least 60 kilograms of the Class A drug.
