On 22 January 2019 at around 1.20pm officers have seen Raja dealing drugs in Aylesbury. Officers arrested him. Following further investigation another arrest was made of the teenage boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons.

Both were arrested and charged on 22 January 2019.

Our investigation revealed they were in possession of 77 wraps of crack cocaine and 44 wraps of heroin.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Mark Kates, of Aylesbury Vale CID, said: “These arrests and convictions were as a result of proactive policing and quick thinking by neighbourhood and Stronghold police officers.

“A large quantity of class A drugs have been taken off the streets of Aylesbury and sends the message that if you choose to deal drugs we will catch you, we will investigate and put you before the courts to face justice.

“Drug dealing effects our communities and it will not be tolerated with the Aylesbury Vale or in the Thames Valley.”
