Birmingham man jailed after police find more than 135 wraps of crack cocaine and heroin worth £1,300 in High Wycombe

Mohammed Azim, 31, of Beeches Road, Birmingham, was stopped on Totteridge Road at 9.20pm on April 17, 2019, after officers from Thames Valley Police’s Stronghold team saw a number of people approach his vehicle.

When he got out, he ran and was detained by police, who then found more than 135 wraps of crack cocaine and heroin.

Azim’s DNA was later found on the wraps and he was also found to be in possession of £260 in cash.

He pleaded guilty to a count of possession with intent to supply heroin and a count of possession with intent to supply cocaine in a hearing at Amersham Crown Court last Tuesday (April 6).
