Man jailed for drug supply offences – Holyport

Following an investigation by Thames Valley Police, a man has been sentenced to more than five years in prison for drug supply and weapons offences in Holyport.
Zain Hussain, aged 28, of Ascot Road, Holyport, pleaded guilty to a count each of possession of an offensive weapon in a private place, possession with intent to supply heroin, possession with intent to supply cocaine and possession with intent to supply cannabis, in a heading at Reading Crown Court last Wednesday (29/1).
Hussain was subsequently sentenced to a total of five years and four months’ imprisonment at the same hearing.
On 18 October 2024, Hussain was arrested for an unrelated matter, and following a house search, a large amount of class A and B drugs were located, along with a weapon.
He was interviewed and remanded into custody after he was charged on the same day.
Investigating officer PC Harriet Green of the Maidenhead Problem Solving Team, said: “Following Hussain’s arrest, we located cocaine, heroin and cannabis in large quantities and these drugs, along with a weapon, were seized.
“As a result of this search and court outcome, we have successfully removed these drugs from the supply chain and Hussain will serve a substantial prison sentence as a result.
“We are committed to removing drugs from our communities, which can cause so much harm, particularly to those most vulnerable.
“We would always urge our communities to report drug dealing to Thames Valley Police, and we will be able to investigate, seize these drugs and make our communities safer for all.
