Leeds 'ring and bring' drugs gang attacked boys as young as 14 with machetes as they flooded streets with heroin and cocaine

Members of a drug gang which flooded the streets of Leeds with class A drugs and fuelled gang-related machete attacks have been jailed for 42 years.

The violence was linked to rival urban street gangs involved in a "ring and bring" drugs trade which saw young boys being attacked and suffering horrific injuries as a result.

More than 50 people were arrested and more than half a million pounds worth of class A drugs were recovered along with £20,000 in cash, machetes, swords and combat knives after specialist detectives from Leeds District Programme Precision Team, which targets serious and organised crime, launched two phases which were the result of a year-long investigation.
