Man sentenced for drug and driving offences – Aylesbury

Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, a man has been sentenced for drug and driving offences in Aylesbury. 

Daniel Oliveira (pictured below), aged 21, of Dorchester Grove, London pleaded guilty at High Wycombe Magistrates Court on 31 March of this year to one count each of: 

. Possession with intent to supply a controlled class A drug, namely cocaine 

. Being concerned in the supply of a cocaine 

. Use of a motor vehicle on a road/public place without third party insurance 

. Driving a motor vehicle otherwise than in accordance with a license 

At Aylesbury Crown Court yesterday (3/9), Oliveira was sentenced to two years and 6 months’ imprisonment, given a twenty-seven-month driving disqualification, given an order for deprivation of vehicle rights and issued with a notice of deportation. 

Oliveira was also given a £228 surcharge, a forfeiture and destruction order subject to the drugs and the £524 cash that was seized during the investigation was forfeited under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. 

On 30 March of this year, officers from the Aylesbury Local Proactive Team were on patrol and stopped a silver Audi TT on Kings Road, Aylesbury. 

Following a search of the driver, Oliveira, and the vehicle, 11 bags of cocaine, £524 in cash and a mobile phone were seized, which was linked to drug supplying. 

Oliveira was arrested the same day and charged the following day. 

Investigation officer, PC Levi Fensom of the Aylesbury Proactive Team said: “Drug dealing has no place in Aylesbury or our communities, and we will continue to take robust action against those who seek to profit from it. 

“This conviction reflects the dedication of our officers to removing harmful substances and criminality from our streets. 

“We remain committed to protecting the public and ensuring Aylesbury is a safer place for everyone.”
