PC Ben McNeill, from the Aylesbury Stronghold Team, said: “Saghir was involved in County Lines activity and I am pleased that this proactive arrest has led to him being sentenced for his role in this.

“Anyone involved in County Drug lines and organised crime within the Aylesbury Vale will be targeted by the Stronghold team and will continue to be pursued until the line is dismantled.

“As part of our Stronghold campaign, we are committed to continuing to work with our partners to tackle serious organised crime and exploitation to highlight the impact of drug offences on the most vulnerable in our communities.”
