A man who took children to a secluded area and threatened them in an attempt to sell drugs has been jailed.
Police said Donnell J Magezi, 26, travelled from London to Leicestershire and made threats of violence towards teenagers to force them to sell Class A drugs in the county.
Leicestershire Police reported the victims, now adults, had previously been drawn into selling cannabis by a mutual school connection.
They were "debt-bonded" to the gang who then wanted them to sell Class A drugs.
Magezi, of Almond Avenue, Ealing, West London, was sentenced to six and a half years in prison at Leicester Crown Court on Friday.
