Detective Constable Darren Holmes of Shrewsbury CID said: "We welcome the result and sentencing which reflects the viciousness of the attack on the victim and I hope that it brings some sense of justice to him."

The victim, Jamie Jackson also welcomed the sentences handed down, saying: “I must thank DC Darren Holmes of West Mercia Police for his support, professionalism and dedication this last 18 months at ensuring these men were brought to account.

"This has been a harrowing ordeal and one that epitomises the expression: ‘being in the wrong place at the wrong time’. Not only was I publicly and falsely accused of being a cocaine addict, but I was falsely accused by these criminals of stealing £3,000 worth of cocaine, for which I received significant injuries. These include being left with a permanent facial scar, loss of feeling in part of my face and lip, a jaw that is held together with numerous metal plates and post-traumatic stress.”
