Fapohunda, 27, of St Christopher Road, Uxbridge, Hillingdon; Walters, 26, of Townson Way, Northolt, Ealing; and Akinsanya, 32, of Long Furlong Drive, Slough, all pleaded guilty to the offence.

Pre-sentence reports were ordered for all three men. A mention hearing was listed for September 1 to determine the respective roles all three played in the drugs operation.

They will be sentenced after that date.

Judge Michael Roques said: "I know you understand this is a serious offence and is likely to be a lengthy custodial sentence."

All three were remanded in custody.
