An Aylesbury drug dealer who had nearly £7,000 worth of cannabis in his car and £12,000 stashed in his house has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison.

On 28 June this year, officers saw a car behaving suspiciously on Revels Close, Aylesbury, and went to stop it. Carroll ran from the car but was detained by police. The car was not registered or insured by Carroll and he was disqualified from driving.

A large quantity of cannabis was found in the car, worth around £6,800, and following a house search in Shakespeare Way, officers found approximately £12,000 in cash.
