A man has been sentenced to nearly three years in prison for dealing cocaine in Aylesbury.
Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, Younes Bardallou was sentenced to two years and 11 months in prison at Amersham Crown Court on Thursday 18th November.
The 25-year-old from Aylesbury pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply class A drugs.
At around 4pm on 13 October 2021, officers witnessed Bardallou conduct a suspected drug deal outside his home.
He was arrested and a search was carried out at the address where officers located cocaine with a street value of around £900.
Analysis of his phone showed he was running a drugs line within Aylesbury, which he maintained control of when he was out of the country during the summer.
WhatsApp messages on Bardallou’s phone included, “it’s so hard finding runners when you’re out of the country,” and, “call my line, see if they answer.”
PC Ben McNeill, based at Aylesbury police station, said: “Anyone involved in organised crime within Aylesbury Vale will be targeted by the Stronghold team and will continue to be pursued until they are brought to justice.
“Tackling drugs supply remains a top priority for Thames Valley Police. We will actively seek to disrupt organised drug supply to protect our communities.
“Through Stronghold, we are committed to working in partnership to tackle serious organised crime and exploitation, such as county lines drug dealing.
“We continue to need the support of the public in this, and we would ask them to report any information that they have about drug dealing.
“This can be shared with Thames Valley Police on our website or by calling 101. You can also report anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
