A teenage drug dealer from Wooburn Green has been jailed after he was caught with two machetes.

Michael Bushay, aged 18, of Holtspur Avenue, has been locked away for one year and seven months - which he will serve at a young offenders' institution.

Bushay was arrested on June 7 last year when officers pulled him over in Springfield Close, Aylesbury.

Searching the car, officers discovered two large machetes, £600-worth of cannabis and £200 in cash.

A passenger in the car, a 17-year-old boy from Aylesbury who cannot be named for legal reasons, was also convicted and sentenced in relation to this incident.

At Aylesbury Crown Court, Bushay pleaded guilty to two charges of knife possession in public, one count of possession with intent to supply cannabis, and one count of possessing criminal property.

He was sentenced on Tuesday. 

Investigating officer PC Levi Fensom, of the Aylesbury Stronghold Team, said: “The Stronghold team in Aylesbury is committed to stopping those who seek to make a living from selling harmful drugs in our communities.

“We will continue to bring people like Bushay to justice and take drugs off the streets of Aylesbury.

“If you have any information, we would encourage you to report it to us either by calling 101 or via online reporting on our website.

“Alternatively, you can also call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
