A man from Aylesbury who was found to be holding over £600-worth of heroin in his home has been jailed for 3 years.
Benjamin Hellon, aged 28, of Ladbroke Close, Aylesbury, pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class A, namely cocaine and heroin.
He was sentenced to three years in prison for the drug offences and a consecutive nine months’ imprisonment for breaching a suspended sentence at Aylesbury Crown Court on Monday (13/6).
On February 8 this year, Hellon was stopped and searched under the Misuse of Drugs Act on Dunsham Lane, Aylesbury, and after a quantity of drugs were found, he was arrested.
Officers then conducted a search of Hellon’s home address and recovered £640-worth of heroin and £380-worth of crack cocaine, along with a large quantity of cash.
Investigating officer PC Levi Fensom, of the Stronghold Team, based at Aylesbury police station, said: “The Aylesbury Stronghold team will relentlessly pursue and prosecute drug dealers, who cause untold harm in our communities.
“We will continue to target those who seek to exploit vulnerable individuals and I hope this conviction will serve as a warning to others who seek to profit from criminality.”
