A man from High Wycombe has been jailed for four years for dealing heroin and cocaine following a police raid on his home last summer.
Armani Francis, aged 28, was sentenced at Aylesbury Crown Court on Tuesday 4th January after pleading guilty to the supply of cocaine and heroin and possession of cannabis.
On 21 July last year, officers entered Francis’ home address, where they found a large quantity of cash, sim cards, drug-dealing paraphernalia including scales covered in drug residue, and a small quantity of cannabis.
There were numerous phones seized with outgoing messages advertising the sale of class A drugs.
Expensive items were also seized, including new designer clothes, a TV and a Playstation 5.
Francis was arrested at the property and charged the following day.

PC Hannah Ransome, of the Stronghold team, based at High Wycombe police station, said: “Drug supply will not be tolerated by Thames Valley Police and I hope this sentence reflects the seriousness of this offending.

“We continue to need the support of the public in this, and we would ask them to report any information that they have about drug dealing.
“This can be shared with Thames Valley Police on our website or by calling 101.
