'Both men were from Sheffield and I am pleased they admitted responsibility for this crime before the courts.
'Criminals who seek the sanctuary of other areas within South Yorkshire to conduct criminal activity should know that they are not safe.
'As an organisation, South Yorkshire Police will relentlessly pursue those individuals and seek to prosecute and disrupt their criminal enterprise.'
