Five members of an Albanian gang have been sentenced to prison in the United Kingdom after being found guilty of distributing large quantities of cocaine across England.
The news was announced by British authorities and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
Three of the convicted men are from Bournemouth and two from Southampton. They pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply Class A drugs following a lengthy and complex investigation by the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit (SROCU).
According to the CPS, the group's activity constituted a sophisticated criminal operation, with the aim of massively distributing cocaine on the British market.
Winchester Crown Court handed down sentences ranging from eight years and eight months to 14 years in prison.

Korab Skepi, 11 years and eight months in prison
Davin Rina, eight years and eight months in prison
According to investigators, Gjoci (31) and Titini (32) led the criminal group and organised deals with buyers in London, the south of England and as far as Cumbria. Their role was co-ordinating and included managing the distribution network.
Korab Skepi (24 years old) was responsible for preparing the imported cocaine for further distribution. He kept detailed notes in a handwritten register, documenting the movements of money and the quantity of the drug.
Investigators emphasize that it was precisely this evidence, including photographs of large sums of money stored on his phone, that became crucial for building the criminal case within the framework of the codenamed "Dare" operation.
Following Skep's arrest in Southampton in January 2025, other members of the group attempted to destroy evidence. They headed to a hardware store in Bournemouth, took moving equipment and cleared out a flat on St James Road, which was being used as a drug processing laboratory.
The activity then moved to a rented house on Pauntley Road, Bournemouth. Police intervened in March 2025, where they arrested Gjoci and Davin Rinne. Over 16 kilograms of cocaine, mixing substances and a hydraulic press for packaging the drugs were found at the scene.
Further searches at four other addresses in Bournemouth led to the seizure of additional quantities of cocaine, cash, phones and other criminal-related material. In total, authorities seized over 27 kilograms of cocaine with an estimated street value of around £500,000, as well as around £170,000 in cash.
The investigations also revealed the use of advanced methods to conceal the drugs. A Citroen vehicle had a secret compartment under the rear seats, which was used to transport narcotics.
Detective Inspector Danielle Hill from SWROCU said the group was operating with significant volumes of drugs and cash, supplying a wide network of buyers. She stressed that authorities remain committed to cracking down on organised crime.
CPS prosecutor James Foster said the strong evidence of a large-scale operation had led to the guilty pleas from all defendants. He added that the sentences given reflected the seriousness of the offence and the scale of the criminal activity.
The operation was supported by several police forces, including Hampshire and Isle of Wight Police, the Metropolitan Police, Cumbria Police and Dorset Police. Dorset Police’s Head of Intelligence, Emma Sweetzer, thanked everyone involved for their contribution to removing dangerous substances from the roads and protecting the community.
