Detective Inspector Mark Vaughton who led the investigation, said: “This has been an extremely complex and protracted investigation into an event which had significant impact on the local community.
“I am pleased with the sentences and they should send a clear message that we absolutely will not tolerate this sort of behaviour which makes people feel unsafe in their own homes and communities.”
