'The cases were first linked when the gang began to target delivery vehicles belonging to one particular company , the series was then connected along with the thefts of the getaway cars and the robberies of shopkeepers going to stock up at cash and carries . 'The volume of offences in such a short space of time is quite shocking and the length of the sentences these men have received is a testament to that , while reflecting on just how organised this criminal network was .
