Drug dealers who lived millionaire lifestyle drinking Dom Perignon and  driving Lamborghinis in £5.5m heroin ring are jailed

• Gang of six  jailed for a total of 72 years after flooding capital with  drugs
• Pushers bought  chauffeur-driven  Rolls-Royce, a £21,000 Rolex watch and designer threads from  Paris after raking in a fortune
• Amassed  collection of Dom Perignon and Cristal champagne, at £700 a  bottle

A gang of drug dealers who enjoyed a  millionaire lifestyle after flooding the capital with more than £5.5million  worth of heroin have been jailed for a total of 72 years.

The pushers bought a chauffeur-driven  Rolls-Royce, a £21,000 Rolex watch and designer threads from Paris after raking  in a fortune running a string of drugs factories.

They also drove supercars including a  Lamborghini and amassed an impressive collection of Dom Perignon and Cristal  champagne, worth £700 a bottle.

A total of 55.62kg, worth an estimated street  value of more than £5.5million, was seized during a series of raids across  London and Kent.

The gang brazenly photographed themselves  with the ‘spoils’ of their crimes, posing to show off the soles of their  designer shoes and wearing three Rolexes, said prosecutor Kerry  Broom.

The supply operation, busted in February this  year, was led by Warren Desmangles, described as ‘pretty close to the top of the  tree’.

The 31-year-old was jailed for 16 years in  March this year, while drugs courier Dalwar Davis, 30, received a nine-year  prison sentence.

Alistair Odoi, 37, and Duane Watson, 30, were  each jailed for a total of 17 years on Friday.

Sentencing Desmangles and Davis, Judge  Anthony Leonard QC said: ‘You enjoyed the luxury trappings including watches  which cost five figures to buy, and a Rolex worth £21,000.

‘You enjoyed the benefit of Cristal champagne  worth £700 a bottle, and Louis Vuitton trainers costing up to £795.

‘It’s reasonable to assume you were living a  millionaire lifestyle – you had that sort of money to spend.

‘You were making vast profits from the  trading of buying and selling heroin on a commercial scale.’

Drugs were stashed in a rented flat  conveniently located in the same block as Desmangles’ home in Canary Wharf, east  London, and also at Davis’ home in Chingford, east London.

 

Davis was caught red-handed dropping off some  of the heroin to Desmangles during a raid on September 28 last  year.

After the duo were arrested, new factories  were set up in Enfield, north London; Hackney, east London; and Dartford, Kent.

A hoard of paraphernalia was also discovered,  including two presses and food processors, together with numerous kilos of  cutting agents including caffeine and paracetamol, and money counting machines.

Davis, of Walthamstow, east London;  Desmangles, of  Canary Wharf, east London; Odoi, of Stoke Newington, north  London; Husbands, of Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire; Watson, of Tottenham,  north London; and Willis, of Waltham Abbey, Essex, all admitted conspiracy to  supply heroin.

Davis also admitted a further charge of  possessing criminal property, as did Odoi, who also pleaded guilty to having a  prohibited stun gun.
