A DRUG dealer was imprisoned for more than three years after he was caught in Buckinghamshire.

Christopher Cutajar, 49, of West Wycombe Road, was sentenced to three years and eight months imprisonment on January 24 at Aylesbury Crown Court.

He had pleaded guilty previously on one count of being concerned in the supply of cocaine, one count of being concerned in the supply of heroin and possessing a knife blade or sharp pointed object in a public place.

Mr Cutajar was caught on May 20 2020 after police officers saw him sitting in the driver’s seat of a car and acting suspiciously on Castle Street.

After he was detained, the officers found a lock knife in his bag, followed by a further search of his home, where a quantity of drugs and scales with cocaine residue were found.

Examination of his phone revealed messages and photos relating to supply of drugs, and his DNA was found on the inner wrappings of drugs.

Investigating officer PC Ben Pearmain from High Wycombe police station said: “Thames Valley Police does not tolerate the supply of drugs and Cutajar has been sentenced as a result.
