Four British Bangladeshi men have been sentenced to prison for their involvement in the supply of class A drugs in Slough, Berkshire, England, reports bdnews24.com from London.
The members of a London-based gang, known as the 'Naz Network', were jailed for their involvement in the supply of heroin and crack cocaine in the town using a network of hired cars. They were sentenced in Reading Crown Court on Aug 12.
They were among 36 people charged with drugs offences after one of the largest pre-planned intelligence-led drugs operations by Thames Valley Police.
Code-named Operation Chester, the crackdown included a series of raids at houses in Slough in July 2008, aimed at disrupting suspected major drugs networks operating in the area.

Akik Miah, 25, of Duckett Street, London, was jailed for five-and-a-half years for conspiracy to supply crack cocaine and heroin.
