Two Slough men jailed for drug supply
The two men received a total of six years in prison and 200 hours of unpaid work
Two men have been sentenced for their roles in a drug supply operation in Slough following an investigation by Thames Valley Police.
Michael Jordan, 21, of no fixed abode, was jailed for four years at Reading Crown Court on Friday, 11 July, after pleading guilty to multiple drug-related offences.
These included three counts of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs — heroin, crack cocaine and cocaine — as well as one count of supplying Class B drugs, namely cannabis. He also admitted possession with intent to supply Class A and Class B drugs, and possession of cannabis.
Rohan Chopra, 20, of Tobermory Close, received a two-year suspended sentence. He was also ordered to undergo drug rehabilitation, complete 200 hours of unpaid work, and be subject to six months of GPS monitoring.
Chopra pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of cocaine, three counts of possession of Class B drugs — including cannabis and amphetamine — and two counts of being concerned in the supply of Class A and B drugs.
The sentences follow a detailed investigation by Thames Valley Police into a drugs supply line operating in Slough, particularly in the Langley area. Officers gathered critical evidence, including communications data, linking both Jordan and Chopra to the distribution of Class A and B drugs.
Investigating officer, PC Lewis Jefferson, said: "Thames Valley Police does not tolerate drug supply in Slough, and I hope this sentence of both Jordan and Chopra is a deterrent to other drug dealers. The supply of drugs is a serious cause of harm and it can often exploit the most vulnerable in our communities.
"We will continue to proactively target those responsible, via both visible patrols and covert tactics, aimed at disrupting and pursuing offenders."
Police have urged the public to come forward with any information regarding drug activity in the area.
