A prolific county lines drugs gang which used children as young as 13 face years in prison for flooding streets with heroin and crack cocaine.
The 'Rico/Mitch' gang, which operated between London and Devon, filmed themselves with huge stacks of £50 notes while boasting 'Splash dat cash'.
Two gang members, Shuiab Awadh, 24, and Bobo Faki, 19, were found guilty at Exeter Crown Court of being part of a conspiracy to supply Class A drugs.

Another six men and one woman have already pleaded guilty to their part in the crime. All nine will return to the court to be sentenced later this year.
The trial, one of the first to use child exploitation as an aggravating factor, heard how the 'Rico' county lines gang sent youngsters from London to conduct their deals.
Older gang members accompanied them to book hotel rooms in Exeter or take over the homes of local addicts - an act known as cuckooing - to organise sales in the city.
Police linked members of the gang using a mixture of CCTV, phone evidence, DNA and taxi journey records.
Video released by police shows a gang member lounging on a bed while muttering and stroking a handful of notes against his face.

Police began an undercover operation in the summer of 2017 using an officer posing as a drug user.
He would receive text messages from lines - named Rico, Mitch and Pricey - saying 'We've got deals for you today'.
