Methamphetamine is highly addictive and can lead to severe psychosis, a heart attack or a stroke.
All suspects - except Dimas who is from Michoacan in southern Mexico - are from Culiacan, in the Sinaloa region of the north west.
They were arrested on August 13, charged and initially appeared at Coventry Magistrates’ Court where they were remanded to custody.
