A 41-year-old man has been given a custodial sentence after he admitted to numerous drug crimes.
James House, of Grenadier Path, Aylesbury, will spend the next 18 months behind bars for pleading guilty to the following offences:
- One count each of concern in the supply of a controlled class B drug, namely cannabis
- Possession with intent to supply a controlled class B drug, namely cannabis
- Acquisition, use and possession of criminal property
He admitted to these crimes at Aylesbury Crown Court on June 6 – he was sentenced at the same venue.
This is in relation to an incident on March 7 this year where House was stopped by the Thames Valley Police Proactive Roads Policing Unit on Bicester Road in Aylesbury.
He was found in possession of £1,875 in cash and a pot containing cannabis bud.
In his car, officers found three other containers containing cannabis bud.
He was arrested on the same day and charged the next day.
A further search at a related address found large quantities of cannabis bud and £9,985 in cash.
The total value of drugs seized in the investigation is around £28,925.
Officers found House had been supplying drugs since November 2022.
Investigating officer PC Levi Fensom, based at Aylesbury police station, said: “This investigation demonstrates that Thames Valley Police is proactive in targeting and prosecuting offenders.
“Our activity aimed at disrupting and pursuing offenders involved in the supply of drugs will be both overt and covert.
“If you have any information around the supply of drugs we would encourage you to report it to us by calling 101 or through the online reporting on our website.”
House was also issued a £187 surcharge, forfeiture of drugs for destruction and forfeiture of £9,985 under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
