Investigating officer PC Levi Fensom of the Aylesbury Stronghold team, said: “This is yet another drug dealer that we have removed from the streets of Aylesbury.

“We will continue to target and pursue those who seek to deal drugs in our communities and through our Stronghold campaign, will make the towns and villages of the Thames Valley a hostile place for dealers to commit these offences.

“Drug dealers often target the most vulnerable people in our communities, and we will continue to take a very robust approach to anybody who wishes to participate in these illicit activities.

“Butt will now have to serve a prison sentence where he can reflect on his actions.”
