A man has been jailed for four years for importing cocaine from the Caribbean to High Wycombe.
In January 2020, officers attempted to stop a vehicle on Priory Road but it was then driven off and two men ran from the car.
Jordan Mesmain, aged 28, of Fulham Road in London was detained nearby and was arrested.

Following a search of his property, officers located quantities of heroin and crack cocaine, valued at £2,700.
Mesmain’s phone was taken as a part of the investigation, and this revealed compelling and detailed evidence that he was importing cocaine from the Caribbean.
He has now pleaded guilty to one count of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs, namely cocaine, in a hearing at Aylesbury Crown Court on Wednesday (February 23).
