A man has been sentenced following his conviction for drugs offences in High Wycombe.

A marked police car approached him, at which point he moved quickly towards some bushes and discarded something.
Dumont was detained under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act.
Two cling film packages containing suspected heroin and cocaine were retrieved by officers from the bushes. Dumont was then arrested.
A search of a room where Dumont had been staying on West Wycombe Road, recovered two phones and further drugs believed to be crack cocaine were found.
