DRUG dealers from the same notorious gang which gunned down five-year-old Thusha Kamaleswaran were jailed yesterday.

Albert Polack, 47, was described as “callous and shocking” for handing out crack cocaine while carrying his 13-month-old baby daughter in his arms.

Detectives believe they delivered a major blow to the south London-based GAS (Guns and Shanks) gang by capturing Polack and associates Gregory Coleman, 39, and Edroy Bryan, 63.

They were imprisoned just two days after fellow gang members Nathaniel Grant, Kazeem Kolawole and Anthony McCalla were convicted of opening fire into food store leaving Thusha, now six, paralysed.

Polack, of Rupert Gardens, Brixton, was jailed for four years, Bryan, of New Park Road, was imprisoned for 10 months, and Coleman, of Aspinall House, received four-and-a-half years at Inner London Crown Court, Scotland Yard said.

Four other dealers with the gang are already behind bars after an intelligence-led swoop on the streets of Brixton.

DI Lee Hill said the individuals were connected with much crime in Brixton.
