Aylesbury dealer jailed for peddling drugs around town on e-bike
A drug dealer who used an e-bike to peddle drugs around Aylesbury has been jailed for 20 months after a Thames Valley Police investigation.
Lyupche Petkovski, aged 26, of no fixed abode, was sentenced to 20 months’ imprisonment at Aylesbury Crown Court on Thursday 29 October after pleading guilty to possession with intent to supply a Class A drug, namely cocaine, and acquiring, using or possessing criminal property.
Police say that at approximately 11.40am on 3 August this year, officers from the Aylesbury Proactive Team witnessed what they believed to be a drug deal involving Petkovski, who was riding an electric bike in Aylesbury.
Officers located Petkovski a short time later stationary at the junction of Pluto Way. He was detained and searched, with officers finding multiple wraps of cocaine, two mobile phones and £205 in cash.
Petkovski was arrested and charged the same day.
Investigating officer PC Burridge, of the Aylesbury Proactive Team, said: “This sentence demonstrates our continued commitment to tackling the supply of illegal drugs across Buckinghamshire.
“Drug dealing causes significant harm to our communities and is often linked to wider serious and organised criminality.
“Thanks to the vigilance and proactive work of officers, Petkovski was identified, stopped and brought before the courts.
“We will continue to target those involved in the supply of controlled drugs and take positive action to keep our communities safe.”
