Drug dealers copied a plotline from TV hit Breaking Bad to move millions of pounds worth of cocaine across the UK.
Baldev Sahota and Shakti Gupta transported £25million of the class-A drug hidden among deliveries of frozen chicken.
It was the same technique used by drugs baron Gustavo Fring in Breaking Bad and its spin-off Better Call Saul.
Sixteen kilos of cocaine were found stashed in a secret compartment in a van stopped in East London last October.
Detectives said the drugs, stashed in cardboard boxes and pallets, were destined for the streets of the capital. GPS data revealed the van made four journeys to Sandwell, West Mids, before heading south.
