Drug dealer jailed for 20 months after cocaine bust in Aylesbury
Police witnessed suspected drug deal before arrest
A drug dealer has been jailed for 20 months after being caught with cocaine following a Thames Valley Police investigation in Aylesbury.
Lyupche Petkovski, 26, of no fixed abode, was sentenced at Aylesbury Crown Court after pleading guilty to possessing cocaine with intent to supply and possessing criminal property.
On 3rd August, police officers from the Aylesbury Proactive Team observed Petkovski involved in a suspected drug deal while riding an electric bike.
He was later detained at the junction of Pluto Way, where officers found multiple wraps of cocaine, two mobile phones, and £205 in cash.
Petkovski was arrested and charged on the same day.
PC Burridge of the Aylesbury Proactive Team highlighted the case as an example of the continued efforts against illegal drug distribution in Buckinghamshire.
He said: “Drug dealing causes significant harm to our communities and is often linked to wider serious and organised criminality.
“Thanks to the vigilance and proactive work of officers, Petkovski was identified, stopped and brought before the courts.
“We will continue to target those involved in the supply of controlled drugs and take positive action to keep our communities safe.”
