24-year-old sentenced to five years in prison
A man from Aylesbury has been sentenced to five years in prison for drug offences, possession of a prohibited weapon and involvement in criminal property.
Usif Mohammed, aged 24, of Culpepper Close, was found guilty of all charges by a unanimous jury at Aylesbury Crown Court on 25th November.
The charges included possession with intent to supply cocaine, possession of cannabis, possession of a taser, and acquire, use, and possession of criminal property.
Arrest and investigation
Mohammed was detained and arrested by Thames Valley Police on 5th March this year at around 11.25pm, after being identified as suspected of supplying cocaine.
A search of his family home uncovered a taser, a quantity of cocaine with an estimated street value of £2,530, and £1,535.50 in cash.
He was charged and remanded on the same day.
Although Mohammed pleaded not guilty, the jury convicted him unanimously.
Police statement
Investigating officer, PC Jacob Burridge, said: “Mohammed was supplying both class A and class B drugs within Aylesbury to some of the community’s most vulnerable people.
“The involvement of Mohammed in these offences showed no regard to the impact on the wider community and he will have time to reflect on his behaviour and the impact it has on others.
“As a result of this investigation, we have taken thousands of pounds-worth of drugs off the street as well as prohibited weapons.
“Thames Valley Police will continue to work proactively to disrupt drug supply networks, and information from the public plays a vital role in helping us do so."
