Man sentenced for drugs offences – Witney

Following an investigation by Thames Valley Police a man has been sentenced after he pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to supply Class B.

Aimal Dawlatzai, aged 24, of Wheatfield Drive in Witney, was sentenced to 10 months suspended for two years, following a court hearing at Oxford Crown Court on Monday (18/1).  

On 16 November 2020 he was found to be in possession of cannabis, drugs paraphernalia, and had £300 of cash. His mobile phone was seized and officers found evidence of drug dealing.

He was arrested on 16 November 2020 and charged on 27 June 2022.

As part of his sentencing he was also ordered to undertake 100 hours unpaid work and undergo rehabilitation. The drugs and paraphernalia were also seized and destroyed.

He was also ordered to pay costs of £425.

Investigating officer PC Sarah Finch, based at Witney, said: “I am satisfied that Dawlatzai has been sentenced and hopefully this will be an opportunity to turn away from drug dealing.

“We are committed to tackling those who seek to deal drugs and we will investigate and work with the courts for justice to be served.”
