Chesham man jailed for drug supply offences
A 24-year-old has been sentenced to 15 months’ imprisonment
Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, a man has been jailed after he was convicted of drug supply offences in Chesham.
Devon Jensen-Wallace, aged 24, of Hivings Park, Chesham, pleaded guilty to a count each of being concerned in the supply of a class A drug, namely crack cocaine and being concerned in the supply of a class A drug, namely heroin, in a hearing at Reading Crown Court on Tuesday (3/8).
Jensen-Wallace was subsequently sentenced to 15 months’ imprisonment for each offence to run concurrently.
On Thursday 21 January this year, officers from Thames Valley Police and the Metropolitan Police executed warrants at addresses in Chesham and Acton, London, in relation to a County Drug Line which had been identified as travelling from Acton to Chesham to supply class A drugs.
Jensen-Wallace was located at the address in Chesham and found to be in possession of a phone used to facilitate drug deals as well as a quantity of cash, believed to be from the proceeds of crime.
The address in Acton found relevant paraphernalia used to package drugs.
Jensen-Wallace was arrested and charged with the offences on the same day.
Investigating officer PC Harley Richardson of the Stronghold team based at Amersham, said: “As a result of excellent partnership working with the Metropolitan Police, we have successfully disrupted this County Line and brought a drug dealer to justice.
“Jensen-Wallace will now serve a custodial sentence as a result of his actions.
“Our Stronghold team are committed to disrupting and dismantling County Lines and organised criminals who seek to bring harm to our communities, often targeting the most vulnerable in our society.
“We will continue to strive to make the Thames Valley a hostile place for drug dealers, and will always look to put offenders before the courts where they belong.
“I would urge anybody who has any information about drug dealing or County Lines in their area to report this to us.
