A 24-year-old man has been sentenced to a year and eight months in prison after being caught with cocaine, cannabis and £820 in cash in Aylesbury.

Bledar Bagrami, of Hydethorpe Avenue in Enfield, London, was handed the 20-month sentence alongside a £228 surcharge at Aylesbury Crown Court on Thursday, September 12.

He was stopped by officers in the Buckinghamshire town on Tuesday, July 23, after they suspected that he was driving a Vauxhall Corsa without insurance or a licence.

Police then became suspicious that the 24-year-old was involved in the supply of class A drugs and a body and vehicle search uncovered 11 bags of cocaine, cannabis, a mobile phone and £820 in cash.

Bagrami was arrested and taken into custody, where Home Office officials confirmed that there was no legitimate record of him entering the UK.

He was charged the following day and pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply and being concerned in the supply of cocaine, possession of criminal property, knowingly entering the UK without leave, cannabis possession and driving without a licence or insurance in Aylesbury on July 27.

Investigating Officer, PC Levi Fensom said: “We will continue to proactively target, pursue and prosecute offenders and our activity will be both visible and covert.

“We will never tolerate drug dealing in our communities, which often harm the most vulnerable people in our societies.

“The information provided by the public around drug supply offences in Aylesbury plays a vital role in developing intelligence into a proactive investigation.

“I would urge anybody who has information to report it to Thames Valley Police by calling 101, or making report online via our website.”
