Two gang members found with £750,000 in cash and more than 100 wraps of cocaine have been put behind bars.

Milan Kosoric and Pero Mitrovic were caught red handed by police when officers found hoards of money stashed inside several supermarket bags for life.

The pair guarded the proceeds of a criminal gang which supplies Class A drugs in Kent.

Officers from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate raided a flat in Kensington, London, to find cash stored in bundles in a bedroom.

Cocaine was seized from the home, along with wraps found in a nearby parked car.

Kosoric, 26, and Mitrovic, 35, later pleaded guilty at Maidstone Crown Court to money laundering offences, and Kosoric also admitted a charge of possessing cocaine with intent to supply.

They were sentenced on October 7, with Kosoric getting four years and six months, and Mitrovic being jailed for one year and 10 months.

Detective Superintendent Lee Morton said: "Kosoric and Mitrovic both occupied key roles in an organised criminal network, and while both of them may not have directly orchestrated the drug supply chains running into Kent, they had clearly been entrusted to look after and redistribute vast sums of criminal cash

"Both men have now rightly been jailed and the fact that we have been able to successfully and permanently seize all the money is equally important.

"Some of the work we do can take months of painstaking investigation but it is important that people see that we won’t allow criminals to benefit from their illegal activity.

"Any ill-gotten cash will be taken from them and where possible redistributed to our local communities for everyone’s benefit."
