CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) - Two New Jersey men were each sentenced to more than a decade in prison for the planned armed robbery of a drug stash house that turned out to be a sting orchestrated by federal authorities.

U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman announced Monday that 43-year-old Robert “Born” Smith and 30-year-old Derrick “Little D” Adams will serve 30 years and 10 years behind bars, respectively, for the planned heist.

Undercover agents set up the sting and recorded Smith, Adams and four other men detail their plans to rob kilograms of cocaine from the southern New Jersey drug den in January 2014.

On the recording, Smith said he’d kill anyone who reached for a weapon during the robbery.

The six would-be thieves were arrested Jan. 30, 2014 at a meet-up location in Maple Shade.
