Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, a man from Aylesbury has been jailed for drug offences.

Muhammed Hamza, aged 20, of Belgrave Road, was sentenced to three years and four months’ imprisonment at Aylesbury Crown Court yesterday (24/2).

Hamza pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class A, one for crack cocaine and one for heroin at High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court on 13 January this year.

At around 2.25pm on 12 January this year, Hamza was seen getting out of a taxi on Meadowcroft, Aylesbury, and was arrested while on license for drug supply.

Officers found £1,400 worth of crack cocaine and heroin and a large quantity of cash in Hamza’s possession during a search.

PC Gary Ratcliffe, of the Stronghold team based at Aylesbury police station, said: “Illegal drug supply will not be tolerated by Thames Valley Police and I hope this sentence reflects the seriousness of this offending.

“Through Stronghold, we are committed to working in partnership to tackle serious organised crime and exploitation, such as county lines drug dealing.

“We continue to need the support of the public in this, and we would ask them to report any information that they have about drug dealing."
