A group of drug dealers in the U.K. are getting attention for all the wrong reasons.
A woman and three men who were attempting to smuggle three kilograms of cocaine into Gloucestershire have been jailed for a total of more than 17 years, according to police.
John Rogers, 29, Kingsley Williams, 28, and Kirsty Sansum and Aaron Russell, both 30, all pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply cocaine at an earlier hearing following an investigation by Gloucestershire Constabulary’s Serious and Organised Crime Unit.
Rogers and Sansum were arrested at a gas station in March after the three bricks of coke were discovered stashed in a bag under the front seat.
Cops estimate the street value of the drugs to be between 240,000 and 300,000 pounds ($433,000 and $542,000).
The pair was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply cocaine.
Investigators arrested Russell and Williams three months later on the same charges, cops said in a press release.
However, people online were more interested in the four criminals’ appearance, particular Sansum and her blonde hair piled into a bun, long lashes, sculpted, arched eyebrows, tattoos and piercings.
“She’s a looker,” one person noted.
Another commenter noted that all four were “a really attractive bunch” making them “easily recognizable.”
They added: “A happy ending for Xmas” — presumably referring to the group’s sentencing.
All four pleaded guilty earlier this month, according to the Gloucestershire Constabulary.
Rogers was jailed for five years and three months, Williams was jailed for six years and nine months and Russell was sentenced to six years behind bars.
Meanwhile, Sansum was given a two-year suspended sentence with drug rehabilitation ordered for nine months and 100 hours unpaid work.

The judge also ordered forfeiture of $1,800 and a Rolex watch belonging to Russell under Section 27 of the Misuse of Drugs Act.
“This was a significant conspiracy to bring thousands of pounds worth of drugs into our county,” Det.- Insp. Matt Phillips said. “These drugs would have eventually ended up on our streets, bringing misery to the lives of our communities.”
