A man has been sentenced to more than three years in prison for drug supply offences in Aylesbury.
Youssef Elgour, aged 24, of Stilton Close, Aylesbury, pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply cocaine, two counts of being concerned in the supply of cocaine, and a count each of possession of a controlled drug of class B, namely cannabis, and acquiring/using or possessing criminal property in a hearing at Aylesbury Crown Court on 6 January.
Returning to the same court last Monday (13/3), Elgour was sentenced to a total of three years and four months’ imprisonment.
On 15 June last year, Elgour was driving a motor vehicle along Paradise Orchard, Aylesbury, when he crashed into a member of the public.
Elgour fled the scene and was arrested nearby after being witnessed to discard of items.
The member of the public was not seriously injured.
An amount of cocaine was found in his vehicle, along with evidence of drug supply.
While under investigation for class A drug supply, on 23 November last year, Elgour was seen conducting a suspected drug deal on Stilton Close, Aylesbury.
He was detained for a search and a further amount of cocaine was seized.
A property was identified as being used, and following a search of this property, a larger amount of cocaine as well as more than £18,000 cash was located and Elgour was arrested.
He was charged on 24 November 2022.
Investigating officer PC Gary Ratcliffe of the Aylesbury Stronghold team, said: “Elgour was a drug dealer, and despite being under investigation for other offences, felt he was above the law and continued to deal class A drugs.
“Our Stronghold team will not tolerate this type of criminality, which often targets the most vulnerable people in our society.
“We will not tire at removing drug dealers and their drugs from our communities and Elgour will now serve a prison sentence as a result of his actions.
“We rely on our communities to tackle our fight against drug dealing.
“You can report, in confidence, any details of drug dealing via 101 or for 100% anonymity via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
“We remain absolutely committed to making the Thames Valley a hostile place for drug dealers and will bring offenders before the courts.”
