Two men jailed for drugs offences – Bracknell

Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, two men have been jailed for drugs offences in Bracknell.

Mohammed Malik, aged 42, of Milston Road, Salisbury, and Tony Corney, aged 42, of Ashbourne, Bracknell, both pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs, namely cocaine and heroin and one count of possession of criminal damage at Reading Crown Court on Thursday (8/8).

At the same hearing, Malik was sentenced to a total of six years and four months in prison and Corney was sentenced to four years and eight months in prison.

On 6 March this year, officers executed a Section 23 Misuse of Drugs Act warrant at a property in Market Street, Bracknell. Officers found a large amount of class A drugs with a street value of £267,000, between £10,000 and £15,000 of cash, high value clothing and Rolex watches, believed to have been purchased with money made through illegal means.

Whilst officers were conducting the warrant, Malik returned to the property, and attempted to run away from officers, before he was arrested.

Corney then later returned to the address whilst officers were present and was found with £1,300 in cash and 50 wraps of class A drugs on him, and was arrested.

Corney was charged on 7 March, and Malik was charged on 8 March.

Investigating officer PC Scott McSweeney, based at Bracknell police station, said: “This conviction and sentencing shows police will robustly target those who deal illegal drugs and the courts will put them in prison.

“Malik and Corney showed no regard for the public in Bracknell, and only showed remorse for their actions once they were caught.

“The case shows the results of the police and public working together, and how information from the public around drugs supply offences plays an important role in helping to stop illegal drugs supply, which will not be tolerated.

“If you have any information which can help us in this effort, we would encourage you to report it to us by calling 101 or through the online reporting on our website.

“You can also report information completely anonymously to the independent charity, Crimestoppers, by calling 0800 555 111 or via its website.”
