A man has been sentenced for drug offences in Aylesbury.
At Aylesbury Crown Court on Thursday (16/5), Andrew Short, aged 40, of Churchmere Walk, Aylesbury was sentenced to a year and 10 months’ imprisonment.
He previously pleaded guilty to one count of being concerned in the supply of heroin and possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of Class A, namely heroin.
On 9 April this year, Short was stopped by officers who suspected that he was involved in the supply of drugs.
As he was detained, he tried to discard a wrap of heroin.
On searching a property linked to Short, officers found a further quantity of the drug.
Short’s mobile phone was examined which contained messages linked to drug dealing.
He was charged on 10 April.
Investigating officer, PC Levi Fensom, of Buckinghamshire Proactive Team, said: “We are committed to tackling drug crime and bringing those who seek to deal drugs to justice.
“As in this case, you will be brought to court and could face a custodial sentence.
“If you have any information about the supply of drugs in your neighbourhood, please report it to us via 101 or the Thames Valley Police website.
“Your information is important in helping us to build a picture of what is happening and take action.”
