Man jailed after being caught with heroin and cocaine in Aylesbury

A man has been jailed for over five years after he was caught with class A drugs in Aylesbury.

Ryan Williams, 20, of Bridgewater Court, London, was sentenced to five years and seven months in prison at Aylesbury Crown Court yesterday (3 July).

At the same hearing, Williams pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply cocaine and heroin, and possession of a criminal property.

His sentencing was linked to an incident in Aylesbury on 30 May. At around 2.15pm Thames Valley Police officers spotted Williams conducting what appeared to be a drug deal on the Grand Union Canal towpath between Tesco in Tring Road and Oakfield Road.

He was apprehended, and officers found £280-worth of crack cocaine and heroin, and £188 on him.

Thames Valley Police also states two phones were taken from the offender which were linked to county drugs line operations.

Williams’ home in London was searched and officers recovered multiple digital scales and drug paraphernalia.

He was charged a day later.

Investigating officer PC Ben McNeill, of the Aylesbury Stronghold team, said: “I am pleased that the courts have handed a fitting sentence to Williams, who made the decision to travel to Aylesbury from Wembley with the intention to deal class A drugs.

“I hope this serves as a clear warning to anyone who wishes to deal drugs in the Aylesbury Vale.

“The Aylesbury Stronghold team, which tackles organised crime in our area, will work tirelessly to ensure these criminals are dealt with robustly and put them before the courts.
