Milton Keynes drug dealer jailed for three years after police caught him with cocaine and heroin

Bradley Smith, aged 26, of Dorchester Avenue, Bletchley, was sentenced at Aylesbury Crown Court on Thursday (30/4).

He pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, namely cocaine and heroin.

Smith was then sentenced to three years imprisonment at the same hearing.

The charges relate to an incident in Tandra, in Beanhill, Milton Keynes, at 11.50am on 22 January this year, when Smith was found to be in possession of the Class A drugs in a property.

He was arrested the same day and then charged the following day (23/1).

Investigating officer, PC Becci Wade, of the Stronghold Team in Milton Keynes, said: “This incident was excellent work from our Stronghold Team, to arrest and charge a man who was clearly looking to profit from drugs within the community.

“Smith has now admitted these offences in court, and will serve a prison sentence where he can reflect on his actions.

“Through our Stronghold campaign, Thames Valley Police will continue to work in partnership to tackle serious organised crime and to stop those who seek to exploit vulnerable people for their own means.

“Also, our True Costs campaign aims to highlight the real impact of drug offences on the most vulnerable in our communities.

“Children as young as seven in the UK have been groomed in to the world of drugs and we are exploring what the real harm is in taking a little cocaine.
