Luton man charged with Aylesbury drug offences

A 27 year old from Luton has been charged with drug offences - after being located at an Aylesbury address.

He was found at an alleged 'cuckooed' property.

This is when a vulnerable person's home is used for drug dealing.

He has been charged with the following;

• Possession with intent to supply a Class A drug - Heroin.
• Possession with intent to supply a Class A drug - Crack Cocaine.
• Possession of a Class B drug - Cannabis.

The defendant was also already on bail for a similar incident from (01/03).

From that incident, he has now also been charged with;

• Possession with intent to supply a Class A drug - Heroin.
• Possession with intent to supply a Class A drug - Crack Cocaine.

He was remanded in custody to appear in court yesterday (Weds).

In a post on Facebook, TVP said:

"We remain relentless in our effort to disrupt and prevent the work of organised crime gangs.

"We are committed in safeguarding the most vulnerable in society and those innocent victims caught up in the middle."

Here is what you can do to help:

Dealers often entice the vulnerable person into allowing their home to be used for drug dealing by giving them free drugs or offering to pay for food or utilities.

There are several signs to look out for that may indicate someone is a victim of cuckooing:

• Frequent visitors at unsociable hours.
• Changes in your neighbour’s daily routine.
• Unusual smells coming from a property.
• Suspicious or unfamiliar vehicles outside an address.
