Luton drug dealer jailed over two years after being caught with 26 wraps of cannabis

Mohammed Khan, 33, of St Mildred's Avenue, was sentenced this month at Luton Crown Court for possession with intent to supply cannabis and for being concerned in the supply of cocaine.

In August 2019, officers stopped a hire vehicle during a patrol in hot spot drug dealing area.

Khan was identified as the driver of the vehicle and when he was searched officers found 26 wraps of cannabis, three wraps of cocaine, as well as a further two bags of cannabis concealed in the car.

He also had a stash of cash and was carrying around several phones.

Khan received 12 months for possession with intent to supply cannabis and 30 months for being concerned in the supply of cocaine, to run concurrently.

Beds Police warn that a drug dealer will often carry multiple phones, have large sums of cash and in some cases use hire cars in the hope they are not picked up by police cameras.

Anyone with information about drugs activity taking place can report it to police via 101 or the reporting centre.

Alternatively, report information anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
