A prolific drug dealer who sparked an international manhunt was among those jailed in Norfolk this week.
Benjamin Macann, 34
Benjamin Macann, 34, from Beetley near Dereham, was on the run for almost two years before he was arrested in a shopping mall car park in Bulgaria.
He was wanted by detectives investigating a sophisticated drugs operation that saw large amounts of cocaine brought into Norfolk.
Messages were retrieved detailing multiple drug drops around the county including one worth around £155,000.

Once found in Bulgaria, Macann was flown back to the UK to appear at Norwich Magistrates' Court where he was remanded into custody.
He appeared at Norwich Crown Court on Friday, November 17 for sentencing having previously admitted to the supply of cocaine between April 1, 2020 and January 15, 2021.
He was jailed for 10 years.
Paul Cordiner, 44
On Christmas Eve in 2021, police attended a property in Gaywood, King's Lynn following a domestic incident.
They found a rucksack containing drug dealing items including a mobile phone at the address which was later shown to belong to Cordiner.
Cordiner was charged with supplying cannabis and cocaine.
Paul Cordiner, 44, from Sawtry in Cambridgeshire, appeared at King's Lynn Crown Court on Tuesday and was found guilty of being concerned in the supply of cocaine between June 1, 2021 and December 24, 2021.
He was jailed for four and a half years.
Darnay Alexander, 27
Darnay Alexander, 27, had spent time in Norfolk after the murder of a friend in London.
He was later arrested at his home in London in connection with an attack in Norwich.
It is now accepted that he was not involved in the attack - but during his arrest on May 23, officers found heroin and cocaine, as well as a phone containing "bulk messages" advertising drugs for sale in Norwich.
Alexander appeared at Norwich Crown Court on Monday (November 13) and admitted two counts of being concerned in the making of an offer to supply class A drugs, heroin and cocaine, to others.
He also admitted two counts of possession of heroin and cocaine.
Alexander was jailed for two and a half years.
