A man from Iver has been sentenced to more than five years in prison after police discovered a firearm, a zombie knife and a substantial quantity of illegal drugs during a search at a caravan.
44-year-old Duarte De Jesus, of Langley Park Road, was sentenced to five years and five months in custody at Aylesbury Crown Court on Monday, 1 June.
On the day his trial was due to begin, De Jesus admitted a series of offences, including possession with intent to supply multiple controlled substances. The drugs involved included cocaine, MDMA, psilocin, psilocybin, cannabis, cannabis resin and etizolam.
He also pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm that fell below the legal length limit, as well as possessing an offensive weapon in a private place.
The case stemmed from an incident shortly before midnight on 12 June last year, when officers from Thames Valley Police's Rural Crime Team attended Langley Park Road in connection with an unrelated matter. During their visit, officers carried out a search of De Jesus's caravan.
The search led to the seizure of a viable firearm, a zombie knife and a significant quantity of Class A, B and C drugs. Among the items recovered were 2.37 kilograms of cocaine, 114 grams of MDMA and 8.23 grams of cannabis.
Police estimated the total street value of the seized drugs at more than £516,000.
Following the discovery, the investigation was transferred to the Buckinghamshire Priority Crime Team. De Jesus was arrested on 13 June and charged the following day.
He has now been sentenced for the offences after entering guilty pleas at court.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Leena Khan of the Buckinghamshire Priority Crime Team said: “Firstly, I would like to thank the Rural Crime Team and the Buckinghamshire Priority Crime Team for their joint efforts in this investigation.
“Removing firearms and offensive weapons from our streets is a vital part of keeping our communities safe. Every weapon taken out of circulation reduces the risk of serious harm and helps protect the public from violence.
“Drug dealing brings harm and misery to our communities and exploits vulnerable people. We will continue to target and disrupt those responsible.
“The information we receive from the public around drug supply offences and will continue to take robust action against those who carry and use weapons, and we encourage anyone with information or concerns to report it to us so we can act.”
