Two clubland drug dealers have been jailed for their roles in the Liverpool city centre cocaine trade .
Badruldin Mohamed Ahmed and Yusuf Omar were the latest criminals locked up as part of an extensive operation targeting those selling drugs to clubbers.
In total, 22 men have now been sentenced as part of the investigation .
Liverpool Crown Court had previously been told of a network of dealers who roamed the Ropewalks area, targeting party-goers with cocaine, heroin, ketamine, MDMA and cannabis.
They hung around on Bold Street, Slater Street, Wood Street and Concert Square and made little attempt to blend into the thousands of clubbers that surrounded them.
As well as selling drugs they would rip off some customers by selling them crushed paracetamol rather than cocaine.
Their activity, and the violence that would stem from it, sparked complaint after complaint from those working and living in the surrounding streets.
Those convicted through the investigation were not all part of the same gang, but worked together in a "loose confederation".
Today, Badruldin Mohamed Ahmed, 32 and of Whittier Street, Toxteth was sentenced to three years, nine months for conspiracy to supply cocaine.
Yusuf Omar, 26 and of Geraint Street, Toxteth was sentenced to four years for conspiracy to supply cocaine.
