Following an investigation by Thames Valley Police, two drugs dealers operating in High Wycombe have been jailed.
Muhammed Saleem, aged 26, of St Hughs Avenue, High Wycombe, and Ian Lewis, aged 47, of Queens Road, High Wycombe, were jailed for three years and one year and ten months, respectively.
Muhammed Saleem
Saleem pleaded guilty to one count of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs, namely heroin, one count of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs, namely cocaine and one count of possession of criminal property.
Ian Lewis
Lewis pleaded guilty to one count of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs, namely heroin and one count of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs, namely cocaine.
Investigating officer, Detective Sergeant James Hoskin of Proactive Team in Buckinghamshire, said: “Muhammed Saleem and Ian Lewis were operating a drugs line called ‘Major’, using mobile phones to sell drugs.
“Through various tactics, Thames Valley Police gained intelligence about the drugs line and carried out warrants in April last year, during which the defendants were arrested and charged the following day.
“This is another case that demonstrates Thames Valley Police’s committed to taking drugs off our streets.
“As in this investigation, we will use some tactics that can be seen and some that can’t be seen in order to disrupt drug dealing in our communities.
“Our message to drug dealers is clear, we know who you are and it is only a matter of time before you are arrested, charged and jailed.
“We need to work with our residents to take drugs off our streets. Therefore, if you suspect drug dealing in your community, contact us by calling 101 or leaving any information you have via our website.”
The defendants pleaded guilty and were jailed at Aylesbury Crown Court on 17 January.
