David Pedley and Ezekial Osbourne have been jailed for seventeen years and ten years, three months respectively after they pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and were convicted of conspiracy to supply a firearm. The men, ringleaders of a drug and gun-supply network in Birmingham, were arrested after officers from the West Midlands Regional Organised Crime Unit witnessed Pedley meeting drug-dealing recruits, later caught with cocaine, and Osbourne supplying an associate with heroin. In addition, the men’s involvement in a gun deal was uncovered when one of their associates was found with a .44 Smith & Wesson Russian calibre revolver in Northampton, Northamptonshire in April this year. Edward Stewart, aged 30, was jailed for six years for supplying the firearm.
