High Wycombe man jailed for drug offences
He was sentenced to three years and five months
Jitinder Johal, of Priory Avenue, High Wycombe, was sentenced to three years and five months’ for two separate incidents last year.
The 36-year-old pleaded guilty to four counts of possession with intent to supply a class A drug, namely cocaine and heroin, as well as one count of driving a motor vehicle with a proportion of a specified controlled drug above the specified limit.
The first incident was on 6th July 2020, when he was stopped by Police in Priory Avenue and dropped a package containing drugs.
The second was on 10 August last year when Police stopped the car Johal was driving in Temple End where he attempted to discard a package containing drugs.
A roadside drugs test found him to be over the prescribed limit of cocaine.
Johal was charged on 11 August 2020.
Investigating officer, PC John Watson, based at High Wycombe police station, said:
“Johal was caught with a quantity of drugs on two separate occasions.
“Throughout the court process Johal denied his involvement and attempted to mitigate his guilt, in an attempt to reduce his sentence. Through the partnership working of Thames Valley Police and the CPS, we were able to prove his culpability, and his sentencing reflects this.
“The supply and distribution of drugs in our communities causes untold damage, and through our Stronghold campaign, Thames Valley Police will continue to work in partnership to tackle serious organised crime and stop those who seek to exploit vulnerable people for their own means.
